4-Cut Photos on iPhone or Galaxy (2026 Guide)

Short answer: absolutely yes.

Modern smartphone cameras rival dedicated photo booths.

With my4cut app, you can apply frames and shoot in one go.

Smartphone (iPhone or Galaxy)

Tripod or phone stand (cheap ones work fine)

Good lighting (natural light or ring light)

my4cut app (App Store / Google Play)

Solid color walls make the cleanest backgrounds.

1. Download app and tap 'Shoot'

2. Pick a frame (aesthetic, character, custom)

3. Take 4 photos (3-second intervals)

4. Save or share via QR

Connect a photo printer like Canon SELPHY CP1500 for instant prints.

Or use convenience store print services (save file, upload).

4x6 inch (10x15cm) paper fits 4-cut layouts perfectly.

You need a phone and the app. The app is free; prop the phone up, take four shots and add a frame. Everyone can get the finished photo on their own phone by QR code.

When the phone is on a dining table, I set it slightly below eye level so nobody has to lift their chin. I found that shooting a family 4-cut with a grandmother at Chuseok. A tablet has a bigger screen, which is easier for older family members to see.

You take four shots with the front camera and there is a timer. Then you pick the four you like, choose a frame, and save. The photo goes straight to your gallery.

It follows the same order as a booth, and you can do it anywhere. Shoot like a selfie.

Pick one in the app to match the occasion, such as a dog frame, a travel frame or a neighborhood shop frame. For a frame with your school or shop name, make one in the web frame maker and upload it.
