PicFrame is a cool app that lets you create neat frames for your photographs. Incorporate up to 5 pictures at a time in a customisable app that gives you lots of control over the frames; rounded edges, thickness, patterns, colour and the ability to adjust the picture position. You can choose between 36 different frames and the app comes with a variety of ratios. All-in-all it’s a brilliant app for giving the pictures you share a fresh and organised look.

Features:
If you’re tired of sharing one pic after another, and perhaps want a better way of showcasing a few of your best pictures in one go, how about an app like PicFrame? PicFrame is a simple-to-use app that lets you select up to 5 pictures and provides 36 different frame shapes to choose from. Perhaps depending on where you want to share your pictures, you can also choose between 6 different ratios. So, if you like posting pics on Instagram- which insists on a 1:1 ratio, you can select that. If you use a photo sharing service that offers more freedom, there are 5 other ratios to select from.
The frames themselves can be customised. There are 36 patterns to try out or the ability to select any colour. You can also adjust the thickness of the frames and even adjust the roundness of the corners. Once they have been uploaded to the frame(s) the pictures themselves can also be tweaked; you can minutely adjust the brightness, contrast and saturation levels in each picture. I did feel this was a little too basic, however, and would probably recommend using a full photo editing suite- like my personal favourite Snaptastic- before uploading the pics to PicFrame.
The whole app is incredibly simple to use and features a very intuitive user interface, making it very convenient and natural experience to use. I really liked the way you can pinch and drag photos once they are in place, and the app lets you share the picture you’e created to all your usual social networks. While photo editing is quite limited, the customisation available for the frames themselves is fantastic. While PicFrame is a paid for app, I’d certainly recommend trying it out.

Usefulness:
For giving the pictures you share a more unique and customisable look, PicFrame is really impressive and offers lots of features and personalisations.
Ease of Use:
Using the app is very easy and highly intuitive. Simply select a frame and a ratio, then up to 5 pictures from your gallery. Tweak, place and rotate into place for the perfect multi-picture frame. Pictures look great and it’s an ideal way to share a few snaps at a time.
Frequently Used:
Depending on how often you like sharing photos, the app is something you might use very frequently. I’ve noticed it works really well with Instagram, although I would recommend users add filters and make individual picture adjustments before uploading to the app.
Interface:
The interface is well designed and user-friendly. The design is polished, responsive and fun to use. Plus it can help you produce some creative collage-photos.
