Photo annotation & markup
The core of Snap Markup is a non-destructive layered editor. Every annotation — pen stroke, arrow, shape, sticker, text, blur region, callout — is its own layer that you can drag, scale, rotate, and remove until you're happy. Once you accept the session, the tools bake into the canvas and you move on.

Multi-photo PDF generator
Pick any number of photos, arrange and rotate them as PDF pages in a 3-column grid, choose Low / Medium / High image quality and Portrait or Landscape orientation, optionally lock the file with a password, and preview the result with Apple's Quick Look without leaving the app. Export to Files, Mail, Messages, or any share-sheet target.
Photo info & metadata
Tap the ⓘ button on the bottom-right corner of any thumbnail in the Home gallery to open an iOS-Photos-style metadata popover: capture date, dimensions, megapixels, file size, format, camera make & model, lens, exposure (aperture / shutter / ISO / focal length), and a map of the photo's location.
