Everything you need to create
No extra apps, no importing: create right where your photos already are.
Collage maker
Combine up to 25 photos with many layouts, spacing, rounded corners, margins, background colors or transparency, popular ratios and endless vertical or horizontal strips.
Video trimmer
Trim a clip, choose a key frame and custom cover, set the speed from 0.5× to 4×, add a filter and export as a video, Live Photo or GIF.
Live Photo covers & frame grabs
Cuka analyzes every frame of a Live Photo for sharpness and expressions to suggest the best cover, and lets you step through any video to save a still.
Film filters
Built-in looks inspired by classic slide, negative, cinema and black-and-white film, shared by photos and videos. Import your own Adobe .cube 3D LUTs too.
A complete photo editor
Crop, rotate and adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, highlights, shadows, sharpness, temperature and tint. Draw, erase, pixelate and add text and stickers, with undo and redo.
Dates and places kept
New photos and videos keep the capture date and location of the original, so they appear in the right place in your timeline.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does editing overwrite my original photo?
No. Edits are saved as a new item that stays grouped with the original. After saving, you can move the original to Cuka Trash or keep both.
Can I use my own LUTs?
Yes. Import Adobe .cube 3D LUT files and use them on photos and videos alongside the built-in filters.
Do collages have a watermark?
Collages include a small “Made with Cuka” mark by default. With Cuka Pro, you can turn it off.
Do the creative tools work with SD card photos?
Yes. Collage, video clips, frame capture, Live Photo covers and the photo editor all work with your Photos library and with external folders.
