What is a Shot on iPhone Watermark?
A "shot on iPhone" style watermark is a thin bar added to the bottom of your photo that shows the Apple logo and iPhone (or iPad) model along with the camera settings Apple EXIF data records — aperture, focal length, and ISO.
The style gained popularity from Apple's own "Shot on iPhone" advertising campaign. Photographers and content creators use it to give their iPhone photos a professional finish and to show the power of iPhone computational photography.

iPhone EXIF Notes
Apple's EXIF includes the lens descriptor — "Back Triple Camera 12MP" or "Back Camera" — in the model field. SHOTON lets you clean this up in the EXIF editor if you prefer a shorter model name like "iPhone 16 Pro."
The focal length EXIF reflects the 35mm equivalent value for the lens used. For the Ultra Wide lens, this is typically 13mm; for the main lens, 24mm; for Telephoto, 77mm or 120mm depending on generation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work with HEIC files from iPhone? Yes. SHOTON accepts HEIC directly. EXIF data is read from the file.
Can I change the model name to just "iPhone 16 Pro" instead of the full Apple model string? Yes. Open the EXIF editor and type exactly what you want to appear — the watermark will display it as-is.
Does the Apple logo appear? Yes. The Apple logo is included in the Classic watermark and is enabled by default when Apple EXIF is detected.
Can I watermark Live Photos from iPhone? Export your Live Photo as a still JPEG from the Photos app first, then upload to SHOTON.
Is this free? Yes, completely free with no account required.
Does this work on Android or other mobile browsers? Yes. Upload a photo directly from any phone using the dropzone above, or tap Camera Mode to shoot with a live filter preview. SHOTON reads your camera brand from EXIF when available. For uploads from this page, Apple is suggested if no brand is detected; you can change the logo from Frame settings.
