## What is Infrared Photo Editor?

Photography in the infrared range is something special. The result is interesting, surreal, dreamlike photos. Take infrared photos with a converted camera or with an infrared filter. This app can convert infrared photos into normal photos where the sky is blue. The red and blue channels are swapped. There are also other controls: tone, brightness, contrast, saturation, vignette, focus. The image is sharpened and noise is removed. You save yourself a lot of work compared to a photo editing program. Save the finished image in the photo album. 3 easy steps.

New: White balance by clicking on the image and slider

It also works with an orange filter. Here too the red/blue channel is swapped. The sky turns blue and plants turn yellow/orange/red.

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless

*2026-02-17*

Waste of $. Simplistic at best and found I was unable to achieve and decent results.

### 5/5 — My first ever apple review ?

*2024-04-13*

Hello sir ma’am, I can’t begin to express my genuine gratitude and appreciation for the really amazing photo app that you’ve created. I don’t know what you put in the sauce but all every method and you know there’s countless to get to a certain desired outcome in the genre if IR photography, and even if the results were average, I would be still over the moon because there’s something so cathartic about banging your head against the wall, countless times to try to get what you know you want to try to get and I don’t know how your thing does it I don’t think I wanna know just because I complicate everything but it blows my mind how no matter what I do regards to IR photography and it doesn’t matter if it’s a tiff orbit, JPEG or anything even a small size like a small resolution size that maybe I pulled off my Sony app your results are just mind blowing, and I just want to genuinely express my gratitude asI hope your never disappears and I get paid next week. I’ll be sure to throw a little bread your way. It’s such an exciting thing being able to be overwhelmed with anxiety when I see my huge file size for my IR folder and question whether I’ll be able to get the outcome of a particular picture and now to the point where I know I can get one with yours .. how one person such as yourself can create something so amazing and multi multi billionaire companies such as Adobe can seemingly let you down time and time again so for what it’s worth I really appreciate it
