DUMP / FAQ

Eighteen straight answers about quality, privacy, Premium and posting. Nothing here needs an account to read — or to use.
DUMP is a photo and video dump maker for iPhone. It turns your camera roll into a
share-ready Instagram carousel, collage or grid, then saves the finished result into
a new Photos album in the exact order you built it. It works fully offline and needs
no account.
A photo dump is a casual carousel post made of several real, unpolished photos and
videos posted together instead of one perfect shot. It is the format people use for
weekend recaps, trips, month-in-review posts and anything that works better as a
story than a single image.
Swipe Carousel mode gives each photo or video its own slide and exports them untouched,
with zero recompression. Canvas mode is a freeform multi-page editor where you place,
layer, mask and decorate media on a page, then render it. Use carousel mode to post
fast, canvas mode to build something custom.

Yes. Photos and videos live side by side in the same dump. Videos keep their original
quality in Swipe Carousel mode, and inside Canvas pages they can be trimmed, muted and
played back in place.
DUMP saves the finished dump into a new album in Apple Photos, named after your project
and already in the right order. Open Instagram, create a post, choose that album, tap
select-multiple, select everything, and post. No reordering is needed.
DUMP is built for iPhone running iOS 17 or later. It can be installed on iPad and will
run in iPhone compatibility mode, but the layout is designed for phone screens. There is
no Android or web version.
English and Turkish, switchable inside the app without restarting it — including every
template, frame, sticker and texture name.
No. In Swipe Carousel mode your media is copied with zero recompression, so the exported
file is exactly what your camera captured. Canvas and grid pages are rendered at full
resolution, and transparency is preserved where an image has an alpha channel.
The free tier builds dumps of up to 10 items and stores 5 saved projects. DUMP+ raises
this to 20 items per dump — the maximum Instagram accepts in a single carousel — and
removes the project limit entirely.
No. Exports contain no watermark, no badge and no branding on either the free or the
Premium tier.
Projects are stored on your device only, so deleting DUMP deletes them permanently and
they cannot be recovered. Anything you have already exported stays safe in Apple Photos,
because those are ordinary photos in your library.
Nothing is uploaded. DUMP has no server, no account and no login. It processes everything
on your iPhone and runs perfectly in airplane mode. Your photos and videos never leave the
device. Read the Privacy Policy →
Photos access is needed for two things only: reading the assets you choose to put in a
dump, and writing your finished dump into a new album. DUMP does not scan, index,
catalogue or transmit your library.
Yes. If you grant access to selected photos only, DUMP builds from exactly those assets.
If there are fewer than the dump size you chose, it tells you how many are available
rather than silently producing a shorter post.
Yes. Swipe Carousel mode, the Canvas editor, grids, a starter set of templates, frames,
stickers and textures, and full original-quality export are all free, with no ads.
DUMP+ is an optional upgrade for people who post often.
Subscriptions are managed by Apple, not inside DUMP. Open the iPhone Settings app,
tap your name, tap Subscriptions, select DUMP and choose cancel. Cancel at least
24 hours before the period ends to avoid the next renewal.
All purchases are handled by Apple, so refunds are requested from Apple rather than from
the developer. Visit reportaproblem.apple.com,
sign in with your Apple ID, find the DUMP purchase and submit a request.
Open Settings inside DUMP and tap Restore Purchases while signed in with the same
Apple ID used for the purchase and connected to the internet. If it is still locked
afterwards, email solostaseraofficial@gmail.com
with your purchase date and Apple receipt.
This is almost always a permission or iCloud state. Check Settings → Apps → DUMP →
Photos and choose Full Access, or add more items under Limited Access. If your library
is set to Optimise iPhone Storage, some originals live in iCloud and need a moment to
download before they can be used.
DUMP needs permission to add to your library and enough free storage to write the finished
files. Confirm both, then export again. Large video dumps take longer — keep the app in the
foreground until it finishes. If it still fails,
send a bug report with your iPhone model and iOS version.
