About
LensLab turns your iPhone into a director's viewfinder — a lens and sensor simulator for filmmakers and photographers who want to plan the shot before touching a real camera.
See your exact frame, live
Point your phone and LensLab shows you precisely what a chosen sensor and lens combination would capture — from Micro Four Thirds to Full Frame, 18mm to 135mm.
Shot-type presets
One tap sets you up for Portrait, Close-Up, Medium Shot, Wide Shot or an Establishing Shot — lens, aspect ratio and exposure tools matched to the shot automatically.
Plan before you roll
Build a shot list for your scene — lens, movement, camera and notes for every setup — so nothing gets improvised on set.
Shoot for real
LensLab's viewfinder is a real mobile camera, with Log-format preview, zebra exposure warning, and manual exposure and white balance control — plan the shot and shoot it in the same app.
Free to start
The core simulator and planning tools are free from the first launch — no account required.
Built for students, solo filmmakers, and small crews who want professional pre-production tools without professional pricing.
