About

Shoot film? Turn your negatives into finished photos, right on your iPhone or iPad. Photograph your colour or black & white negatives on a light table (or any bright, even backlight), import them, and Negatives to Pixels does the rest: a purpose-built conversion engine analyses each frame, removes the orange film mask, balances the colour, and delivers a clean positive you can fine-tune and share. A REAL CONVERSION ENGINE • Custom log-space inversion built for film, not a simple "invert" filter • Automatic colour balance that neutralises the orange C-41 mask • Auto exposure so every frame comes in at a consistent brightness • Handles colour negatives (C-41) and black & white film MAKE IT YOURS • 14 built-in looks: 9 colour styles and 5 black & white moods • Exposure, contrast, brightness, saturation, temperature, tint, highlights, shadows, grain, and vignette • Crop, straighten, and rotate with a full-screen tool • Before/after compare slider and live RGB histogram • Copy the edits from one frame and paste them onto the rest of the roll BUILT FOR WHOLE ROLLS • Organise negatives into rolls • See at a glance which frames you've edited and exported • Batch export a full roll at full resolution • Duplicate a frame to try different looks side by side MADE FOR EVERY SCREEN • Designed for iPhone, iPad, and iPhone Duo • On iPhone Duo, start a roll on the front screen and unfold for a bigger editing view without losing your place QUALITY IN, QUALITY OUT • Import JPEG, HEIC, TIFF, and camera RAW (DNG, ARW, NEF, and more) • Full-resolution processing with a float-precision pipeline • Export JPEG, 16-bit TIFF, or PNG to Photos or Files PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Everything happens on your device. No account, no subscription, no analytics, no uploads. Your photos never leave your device. Note: raw files from some older camera models are no longer supported by iOS and iPadOS and import at preview resolution. Converting those files to DNG on a computer (Adobe's free DNG Converter) restores full quality. Dust off that shoebox of negatives. Your film deserves better than sitting in the dark. No ads, no subscriptions, no paid add-ons. Film photography is my passion and I want to try and enable as many people as possible to experience the art of film photography. Giving you this software hopefully helps with that mission.

What's New in Negatives to Pixels

2.0

October 27, 2026

Negatives to Pixels is now on iPhone and iPhone Duo. • Designed for iPhone: a streamlined editor with presets and adjustments one tap apart, and a panel you can hide to see your photo full screen • iPhone Duo: switch between the front and inner screens mid-edit without losing your place • Your library now shows the converted photo and marks frames you've edited and exported • A new crop tool: the frame stays level while you straighten, plus a Rotate 90° button • Highlights and Shadows sliders now give smooth, natural results • Fixed: straightened photos could export tilted the opposite way • A clearer home screen icon in tinted and clear modes If you've used Highlights, Shadows, or Straighten on earlier edits, those frames may look a little different now.
