Straighten leaning buildings in one tap, scan your documents, and ask them anything, privately on your iPhone. STRAIGHTEN • AutoAlign measures the angle a photo was taken at and reverses it, so walls stand straight without a stretched look. Full correction, or verticals only. • Billboards, posters, whiteboards and artwork straighten too. With Manual Fix, drag four corners onto anything. • Keeps HDR, EXIF, GPS and your original, and every edit can be reverted in Photos. Works inside the Photos app. DOCUMENTS • Scan receipts, letters, cards and slides, one shot per page. Each page is found, cropped, straightened and filed by type, with a title from Apple Intelligence. • Search any word on the page, in the app or from Spotlight. Share as a searchable PDF. Date, place and camera stay on every page. ASK DOCUMENTS, ON YOUR iPHONE (EXPERIMENTAL) Ask in your own words, like "what was the total on the Hofer receipt?" The on-device model of Apple Intelligence answers and shows the document it used. Smart Search finds the right documents by meaning, and even by what a photo shows, with a search model that runs on your iPhone. Nothing is sent anywhere. Needs a device with Apple Intelligence turned on. Smart Search needs iOS 26.4; its model downloads once after install, and search uses keywords until it arrives. Works best in English. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no tracking, no analytics. FREE AND PREMIUM Free: the full correction, Manual Fix, cropping, and up to 4 documents. Exports carry a watermark and save at reduced resolution. Premium: full-resolution and HDR export, no watermark, unlimited documents. Monthly, yearly, or a one-time purchase.

Magic Lighting's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 17.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
