## What is Priime?

Priime is a professional photo and video editor built entirely on your device. RAW, HDR, Live Photos, and video — edited in full wide color, at full resolution, with nothing ever uploaded to a server.

Edit with one touch by using Priime Styles: full edits designed and created with the world's best photographers.

Rebuilt from the ground up for iOS 26, Priime pairs a new Liquid Glass interface with an editing engine that renders in milliseconds. Styles created with world-class photographers, precision adjustment tools, and on-device intelligence that knows what you shot and suggests how to finish it.

ON-DEVICE INTELLIGENCE, NOT THE CLOUD
Priime's Suggestions engine runs entirely on your iPhone or iPad using the Neural Engine. It recognizes more than 1,300 subjects, scenes, and objects — a portrait at golden hour, a plate of food, a snow-covered ridge — and recommends the styles that suit each frame. Your photos never leave your device. No account, no upload, no waiting on a connection.

PHOTO STYLES FROM WORKING PHOTOGRAPHERS
Every Priime style is built in collaboration with photographers whose work you already know, translating their color, contrast, and tonality into looks you can apply to your own images. Preview your photo with multiple styles side by side in a comparison grid, then commit to the one that fits — no tapping through options one at a time.

RAW EDITING WITH ALL THE DATA
Priime reads the full depth of your RAW files, so highlights recover, shadows open, and color holds together where a JPEG would fall apart. Support for Apple ProRAW and RAW formats from Sony, Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, Leica, Hasselblad, Panasonic, OM SYSTEM, Phase One, and many more.

VIDEO, EDITED LIKE A PHOTO
Apply the same styles and adjustments you use on stills to your video clips, with the same lossless quality. Color grading without a timeline, a desktop, or an export queue. Live Photos are edited across their motion too, so the movement matches the frame.

BUILT FOR EVERY PHOTO YOU TAKE
RAW is where Priime is strongest, but everything works on ordinary photos as well — HEIC, JPEG, screenshots, shots from years ago. You still get wide color, full resolution, and non-destructive edits.

WIDE COLOR, FULL RESOLUTION, NO COMPRESSION
Priime edits and saves in Display P3 wide color at up to 120 megapixels, with no compression and no destructive changes to your original. What you export is what you shot, with your edit on top.

KEY FEATURES
- RAW editing for DSLR, mirrorless, and iPhone ProRAW files
- Video editing with the same styles and adjustments as photos
- Live Photos edited across the motion portion
- Photo styles created with the world's top photographers
- On-device Suggestions AI trained on 1,300+ labels
- Side-by-side style comparison grid
- Precision adjustment tools in full wide color
- Batch editing — copy an edit to many photos and videos at once
- Visual edit history with full undo
- Non-destructive saving up to 120 megapixels
- Dark and Light appearance, landscape and portrait
- Designed for iPhone and iPad

GETTING RAW FILES ONTO YOUR DEVICE
Import directly from an SD card or camera using a USB-C card reader, connect your camera over USB-C, or AirDrop from another device. Very large files — anything past 80 megapixels — take a moment to fully load in any app, Priime included.

### 1/5 — New update moves to subscription model

*2026-09-08*

I was so excited to see an update for this app, which I’d kept on my phone despite not really using it after it got extremely buggy through successive iOS updates. The patch notes were very exciting, but as soon as I launched, I was hit with a subscription screen. I already paid for all the filters/looks years ago and now I can no longer really use them since you can’t save/export unless you subscribe! Sure, developers need to eat and the updated app looks good, but it would’ve been nice to have a restore option for legacy users. I’ll probably be deleting this app now since I’m not into subscriptions for apps like this.

### 1/5 — App faulty

*2025-11-15, version 5.2.3*

Always takes me out of the app when i choose photos to edit

### 5/5 — My favorite

*2025-06-12, version 5.2.3*

The best

### 3/5 — great but really buggy and glitchy

*2025-03-30, version 5.2.3*

its my go-to editing app but it’s become very glitchy and buggy and feels like there hasnt been any updates at all in a bit, so it feels outdated unfortunately

### 3/5 — 50/50

*2025-03-26, version 5.2.3*

When the app isn’t self shutting down, the tools are magnificent… Half the time you load a photo in the app shuts completely down

### 3/5 — Great but buggy

*2025-03-19, version 5.2.3*

Great filters but damn guys you need to update this. 1 in every 3 photos that you try to edit causes the app to crash. Other people who use the app also have this problem

### 1/5 — Вылетает программа

*2025-03-02*

Отредактировала порядка 30 фото, все супер было, нарадоваться не могла. 
Начинаю редактировать 31 фото, вылетает. Удалила, скачала заново, тоже самое.

### 2/5 — We want update for money we paid.

*2025-02-27, version 5.2.3*

Just need update, app crashes and developers probably put stick on it.

### 3/5 — Abandoned Gem

*2025-01-09*

This used to be a phenomenal app, an essential photo editing and color tool, but as it was last updated three years ago it’s becoming increasingly wonky, either failing outright or behaving bizarrely (cropping images, ignoring photo edits, etc.). Such a shame to lose one of the best apps out there.

### 1/5 — App Crash For Some Photo

*2024-12-14, version 5.2.3*

The app just simply crashed right after I choose some photo to edit, make it unusable, very disappointed.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 7.0.0 — 2026-09-08

Priime has been completely rebuilt.

This is a full rewrite from the ground up — a new editing engine, a new interface designed for iOS 26, and video editing for the first time.

VIDEO EDITING
Apply the same styles and adjustments you use on photos to your videos, with the same lossless, full-quality output. Live Photos keep their motion, edited to match.

BUILT FOR iOS 26
A brand-new interface designed around Liquid Glass. Priime now adapts to landscape and portrait, supports Dark and Light appearance, and is built natively for both iPhone and iPad.

SMARTER SUGGESTIONS, ENTIRELY ON DEVICE
The Suggestions engine has been rebuilt on Apple's Vision framework and runs entirely on your device using the Neural Engine — nothing is uploaded, and nothing leaves your photo library. Priime now recognizes more than 1,300 subjects, scenes, and objects to recommend the styles that suit each shot, and it does it dramatically faster than before.

COMPARE STYLES SIDE BY SIDE
See your photo or video previewed with multiple styles at once in a grid. Pick the look you want without tapping through every option one at a time.

BATCH EDITING IS BACK
Copy an edit from one photo or video and apply it to as many others as you like, all at once — now for video too.

FASTER, LOSSLESS, FULL WIDE COLOR
The new engine is faster and more efficient throughout, with non-destructive editing, maximum-resolution saving up to 120 megapixels, and full wide-color support end to end.
