Frame color and filter:
start with what you are wearing

Picking the prettiest frame color often makes faces disappear into it. The frame should serve the people in the photo, not the other way round.

What each filter does

Add the date with a caption

Years later, "when was this?" is the first question. Add the date, date and time, or your own text like "Mia’s 7th birthday" at the top or bottom.

Matching a friend’s style

Strips shot separately only look like a set when frame and filter match. Sending the setup as a code is more reliable than describing it.

Choosing in the app

The Frame, Filter, Deco and Adjust menus sit under the preview in the Android app "Photo Booth".

Pick frame, filter and decoration

There are six basic frame colors, extra colors, and three "Weekly" frames that change every week. Filters apply live in the preview, so you can see the result before shooting. Deco adds stickers and a caption (date, date + time or custom text, top or bottom, three fonts).

Extra frame, filter and sticker packs unlock for good after one short ad; Weekly frames unlock for 24 hours.

Share it as a frame code

Copy the frame code and send it to a friend. When they paste it, the same frame, filter and spacing are applied. Anything they have not unlocked falls back to the default.

FAQ

Can I change the frame of a photo I already took?

If the original shots are kept, Restyle rebuilds it with a new frame, filter or layout as a new photo. See fixing one bad shot.
