Aspect Ratio Preview & Export for Photographers

## Preview any ratio. Reposition any crop. Export in one click.

I built Frameline because I was tired of opening Lightroom just to check how a photo looks at 4:5. Now I see every ratio at a glance, drag to reposition, and bulk export – all for a one-time $19.

Features

## Everything you need, nothing you don’t.

Frameline is focused by design. No bloat, no feature creep. Just the tools a photographer needs to preview, crop, and export aspect ratios quickly.

---

### See every crop, side by side, in a configurable 2, 3, or 4 column grid

Load a photo and instantly see it in every aspect ratio at a glance. Switch between grid layouts depending on how many ratios you’re comparing. A filmstrip on the left keeps all your loaded photos one click away.

### Set the perfect focal point, click anywhere to reposition your crop

Click on any ratio to open it full-size, then click anywhere on the image to set the focal point. Every ratio reframes around your subject automatically. Fine-tune with the crop slider on the right. Quick Export lets you save a single ratio instantly.

### Any ratio you need, built-in presets or your own custom formats

Frameline ships with 30+ predefined ratios across digital, social, print, film, and cinematic categories. Need something custom? Add unlimited ratios with a name and value. Toggle ratios on and off to show only the ones relevant to your current project.

How It Works

## Three steps. Under a minute.

### 01

#### Load your photos

Drop a single JPEG or PNG, select multiple files, or open an entire folder.
A filmstrip on the left keeps everything accessible.

### 02

#### Preview and reposition

See 30+ ratios in a configurable grid. Click any ratio to set the focal point; every crop reframes around your subject. Fine-tune with the crop slider.

### 03

#### Check and export

Check the ratios you want per photo, then move to the next and repeat. Then bulk-export all selected crops at once, organized into neat folders per photo.
