Frames is a dedicated film photography companion that preserves shooting metadata and embeds EXIF information into scanned analog images, helping film photographers maintain complete records from exposure to digital archive without manual tracking.
The Complete Metadata Solution for Film Photographers
Frames transforms how analog photographers document their work by bridging the gap between film shooting and digital archiving. Unlike digital cameras that automatically record technical data, film photography traditionally loses this valuable information during the development process. Frames solves this persistent problem by providing a structured system to log exposure details in the field and seamlessly transfer this metadata to your scanned images.
How to Document Your Film Photography Workflow
- Record shot details in the field (aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lens)
- Organize images by roll, camera, or location with the intuitive interface
- Import your developed scans and pair them with your recorded metadata
- Export images with complete EXIF data embedded, preserving your process
The app's minimal interface draws inspiration from classic photographer's notebooks while adhering to Apple's design principles, which means that you can focus on photography rather than learning complex software. With over 200 preloaded film stocks and support for discontinued emulsions, Frames accommodates everything from common Kodak Portra to rare experimental films.
Why Film Photographers Choose Frames
What separates Frames from generic note-taking apps? Frames is specifically engineered for the analog workflow, featuring film-specific metadata fields, camera and lens memory, and location tracking that integrates perfectly with your shooting style. This specialized approach ensures that no critical information is lost between exposure and scanning.
