Using the camera of your smartphone, Cadrage is able to accurately simulate the framing of any camera and lens setup. Preview shots instantly and get ready to shoot faster. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a film student, Cadrage assists you in getting the most out of your shooting day.

  • The better way to

    Location Scout

    Cadrage is the app to bring to locations scouts and recces. Test out camera angles right on the spot and save time on the day of shooting.

  • All the data you need

    Every image is saved along with useful information: camera format, focal length, field of view, date/time, image title and compass bearing. Additionally GPS coordinates are saved as metadata (EXIF), which is great for outdoor location scouts. All this information is available in the built-in gallery of Cadrage and will also be attached to the bottom of the image when exporting. You can also create neat PDF shotlists and send them by email or upload them to your Dropbox.
