## What is Light Paint?

Paint with light as it happens.

LightPaint turns your iPhone or iPad into a real-time light-painting camera. Its all-new Metal GPU engine builds luminous trails live in the viewfinder, so you can compose, adjust, and create while the camera is still running—not after the moment is gone.

LIGHT PAINTING, LIVE
• Watch trails build on screen in real time
• Choose Lighten, Screen, Additive, and other blend styles
• Shape trail length, falloff, glow, comet effects, masks, and color
• Erase from the live trail or set a restore point without starting over
• Start quickly with tuned profiles for light painting, words, lasers, vehicles, star trails, and more

A CAMERA BUILT FOR CONTROL
• Manual ISO, shutter, focus, white balance, exposure, and lens selection
• Crosshairs, focus ring, framing guides, zoom readout, and rotation lock
• Live ambient-light guidance and image enhancement controls
• Save custom profiles and reuse a complete camera setup

AI SCENE ANALYZER
LightPaint Pro members can capture a test shot or choose an image from the LightPaint library. The AI Scene Analyzer studies the scene and recommends camera, exposure, focus, white balance, trail, blend, and color settings. Review the result, apply it to the live camera, or save it as a reusable profile. Analyzer use requires sign-in and available credits.

TIMELAPSE, VIDEO, AND EDITING
• Capture interval timelapses and light-painted video
• Review a complete session as soon as you stop recording
• Use the built-in video editor to trim, split, join, add effects, and work with audio
• Export to Photos, Files, iCloud, or the iOS share sheet

ALL-NEW LIGHTPAINT 2.0 EXPERIENCE
The interface has been rebuilt around a clearer home screen, simpler navigation, faster access to camera tools, responsive iPhone and iPad layouts, customizable themes, and an Apple Watch companion for remote camera control and previews.

WORLDWIDE FROM DAY ONE
Use LightPaint in English, German, Spanish, French, Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, or Simplified Chinese.

FREE TO CREATE
The full real-time GPU camera and every built-in profile are free. LightPaint Pro unlocks advanced trail-engine tuning, custom setup tools, and clean full-resolution export. Subscription and lifetime options include a monthly Scene Analyzer allowance; additional Analyzer credits are available separately.

Whether you're painting with a flashlight, spinning steel wool, tracing LED poi, following city traffic, photographing fireworks, or building star trails, LightPaint lets you see the art take shape while you create it.

Paint the dark. See the light.
