Ham Imaging is the picture side of amateur radio. Hold your phone to any receiver's speaker and watch slow-scan television pictures decode live, or transmit your own with your callsign printed on them — no interface box, no cables, no computer. RECEIVE • Live SSTV decode straight from your radio's audio through the device microphone • Automatic mode detection from the VIS header — leave it on Auto and the picture just appears • 20 modes decoded and encoded: Scottie 1, 2, 3, 4 and DX; Martin 1, 2 and 3; Robot 12, 24, 36 and 72; PD 50, 90, 120, 160, 180, 240 and 290; and Wraase SC2-180 • A live tuning meter and signal-confidence readout so you can peak the audio before the picture starts • Slant correction for the small clock differences that make a picture lean • The picture paints in as it arrives — you do not have to wait for the end of the frame TRANSMIT • Send any photo from your camera or gallery as an SSTV picture • Optional overlay printing your callsign, grid and a free text line onto the image • Pick the mode to suit the band and the time you have • A progress bar tracks the transmission, and you can cancel at any point • Putting a signal on the air stays your decision — the app makes the tones, you key the radio GALLERY & LOGGING • Everything you receive or send is kept together on the device with its mode and UTC time • Share a watermarked copy anywhere • Clean export — a plain copy at 800 px, exactly the format ARISS asks for in award submissions • Copy an ADIF line to paste an SSTV contact straight into Ham Logging or your desktop logger • Delete a single picture or clear the whole gallery. Nothing is ever uploaded BUILT FOR THE SHACK • Works fully offline — decoding and encoding never need an internet connection • Light and dark themes, adjustable font size, weekly tips and in-app version history • Your callsign and grid stay on your device • No account, no ads, no analytics and no tracking PERFECT FOR • Operators working the HF SSTV picture nets • Anyone chasing ISS / ARISS SSTV events and award submissions • Shortwave listeners who want to see what those warbling tones actually are • Newcomers who want to try SSTV without buying an interface • Clubs demonstrating amateur radio to visitors and students PRIVACY • Your callsign, grid and email are stored only on your device. • No account, no sign-up, no ads, no analytics SDKs, no advertising ID and no tracking of any kind. 73 de A41UX Yousuf AL Balushi — Unixeer, Oman ## Version history (last 2 releases) ### 1.1.0 — 2026-08-26 Decode a picture from a saved recording Receive has a new folder button, just right of the Receive button. Pick a WAV recording and Ham Imaging decodes it exactly as if the audio had come from the air — same decoder, same result. Useful when the signal has already passed: record it off the radio, or off a web receiver, and decode it afterwards at your leisure. It reads mono or stereo, 8 to 32-bit, at any sample rate, and if a file cannot be used it says why in plain words. Auto (VIS) now decodes stations that are slightly off frequency If your receiver sat even 90 Hz away from the signal, Ham Imaging read the picture's header as noise and refused to identify the mode — so Auto (VIS) failed on transmissions that decoded perfectly well if you chose the mode by hand. It now measures how far off the signal is and reads the header relative to that. Nothing changes for stations that are already spot on. The tuning meter now tells you the truth The little level bar was on a linear scale, so a strong, perfectly decodable signal moved it barely a fifth of the way and the "too hot" warning could never appear at all. That is backwards advice: a dead-looking meter invites turning the volume up, and too much volume is exactly what stops a picture decoding. The bar is now on a proper audio (decibel) scale — a good signal sits high, a quiet one is still clearly visible, and if the input really is too loud the bar turns red so you know to turn it down. 73 de A41UX ### 1.0.0 — 2026-08-06 No release notes. ## More apps by Yousif AL Balushi - [Ham Satting](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ham-satting/id6755707916) - [Ham Logging](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ham-logging/id6772468054) - [Ham Learning](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ham-learning/id6782169770) - [Ham Gaming](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ham-gaming/id6782177779) - [Ham Engineering](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/ham-engineering/id6795236723) All apps by Yousif AL Balushi: https://appshunter.io/developer/1855752610 ## Related topics [sstv](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sstv) · [sstv decoder](https://appshunter.io/ios/topics/sstv-decoder) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
