The social media assistant you wish you could hire
Turn your shoot into a week of posts
Captions, hashtags, hooks, alt text and matching audio for every platform — written to sound like you. Your photo is never altered, and you approve every post.
The calculators, planners and checklists are free and unlimited.
It starts with one photo.
No project setup, no templates to learn. Just drop in a shot — or a slideshow, or a video.
Your workspace opens straight away and keeps generating in the background — you can keep browsing.
No photo to hand? Try a sample.
Tap one and the real generator runs on it — nothing to choose, nothing to upload, and it doesn't use your free generations.

Photography tools
Calculators, sun/moon/Milky Way planning, timing and composition tools and shoot-prep utilities — free and unlimited for everyone — plus an AI photography assistant. Separate from Content Pack generation.
AI Photography Assistant
Analyse your photos and get shooting and editing guidance — most tools run free in your browser, three use AI vision and are usage-capped.
Technical Calculators
Exposure, depth of field, ND filters, hyperfocal distance, flash power, focus stacking and print size — solved for you.
Light & Environment Tools
Sun and moon timing and position, golden/blue hour, a shadow predictor, and a Milky Way planner — live or for any date you choose.
Timing & Execution Tools
A long exposure timer, time-lapse and hyperlapse planners, and a star trails max-shutter guide.
Composition & Planning Tools
Field of view, crop factor, camera angle and panorama overlap — work out how a shot will actually frame before you get there.
Phone Photography Tools
Tools for the camera you actually have with you — which phone-only mode, lens and setting a scene calls for on iPhone, Pixel and Galaxy.
Photographer Utilities
A shot planner, genre checklists, a settings diary and a metadata stripper — all on your own device, no account needed.
Photography Business Tools
Model release, contract, quote, day-rate calculator, client questionnaires and a batch watermark — free, in your browser, nothing uploaded.

Some faces tell a whole story before you've said a word.
Spotted this on a walk through the city today. Black and white felt like the only honest way to shoot it — what would you have done?

"I started as an assistant cameraman in Rome in 1998, and became a full cameraman two years later. Twenty-five years in television taught me how to see a shot before it happens — but for years I couldn't get my own Instagram to grow the way I felt the photos deserved. The problem wasn't the shots, it was that I could compose a frame in half a second and then lose twenty minutes hunting for three lines of caption."
He's not alone — in Format's 2026 State of the Photography Industry survey, 56% of Format's surveyed photographers said they want help with social media, and 31% called it one of the most stressful parts of running their business.
