tone - photos, printed: iPhone vs Android

tone turns photos, drawings, and text into artwork with the character of stencil printing.

Layer up to 8 images, finger drawings, and text objects in one composition. Use up to 5 physical ink plates across the artwork: share a plate to print objects in one color, or separate them for independent misregistration.

Select an object on the preview and move, scale, or rotate it directly. Crop each image, adjust every corner radius independently, and set each margin with on-canvas handles.

Drawing includes five brush sizes plus undo and redo. Text offers ten typefaces with controls for density, bleed, weight, spacing, and leading. Both pass through the same halftone and ink process as photos.

Simple mode explores color, screen, and frame combinations with random buttons. Customize mode exposes the individual controls, while Advanced mode also lets you edit which plates each object uses.

Save the entire composition—including the frame, crops, plate structure, text, and drawings—as a custom preset. Apply the same setup to another photo whenever you like.

Save finished artwork to your photo library. For physical production, export print-ready artwork or per-ink separations with finished dimensions, bleed, Standard / Japanese crop marks, true-size imposition, and PNG / JPEG / PDF output.

tone supports iPhone and iPad in portrait, landscape, and Split View. Your latest artwork and editing settings stay on device and are restored automatically.

tone is a photo app that gives your pictures the character of stencil printing.

Pick a photo, and fine halftone dots and overlapping inks turn it into something like a two-color poster or zine page.

In Simple mode, tap the random buttons to explore combinations of colors, halftones, and frames. A guided tour walks you from loading an image to exporting it.

Inks that fit your photo can be chosen automatically. Export right away, or fine-tune dot frequency, screen angle, density, and print behavior for each color.

Margins and frames are freely editable too. Add rounded corners, hand-cut edges, and paper grain to finish it like a poster or card.

Save finished artwork to your photo library.
