FAQ

Does Winder work with full-frame 35mm scans?

Yes — import them and keep a single frame at review (or let detection notice there's no divider). But Winder's soul is half-frame: the splitter, the diptych, the whole reason it exists.

My lab's scans are a different size. Will detection still work?

Detection is proportional, so most sizes just work. If your scans differ from the 3130 × 2075 default, set the real size in Settings → Film & scanning so the fallback cut and bar width stay accurate.

What formats can I import?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP and most TIFFs. Frames are saved as JPEG (quality adjustable in Settings).

Where exactly are my photos?

In a folder you can open in any file manager. iOS: the app's Documents folder, visible in the Files app. macOS/Android: anywhere you choose. See The library format.

Is there an account? A cloud?

No and no. Winder is local-first. Sync happens through your storage — iCloud Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV — not ours. The Pro subscription is a store purchase tied to your device, no sign-up.

What does Pro add?

Auto-straighten, unlimited albums (free keeps 3), all six share-frame styles, and alternate app icons. Splitting itself is free forever.

Can I get my data out?

You never have to "get it out" — it was never in. Copy the library folder and you have everything: photos as JPEGs, metadata as readable JSON.

Deleted something by mistake?

Look in the .trash folder inside your library. Winder moves deletions there instead of erasing them.
