Professional color grading for every photo — the ones you shoot and the ones you already have. NEW: AI LOOKS An AI editor that runs entirely on your iPhone. It grades your photo in 14 styles — golden hour, teal & orange, Portra, Fuji Chrome, nordic cool, B&W and more — and picks its top 3 for that exact shot. Not a filter pasted on top: sky, skin and shadows are each handled on their own, adapted to your photo. MATCH ANY PHOTO Love the colors in a picture? Pick it as a reference and Grade Studio brings those colors to your photo — sky to sky, skin to skin. GRADE WHAT YOU ALREADY HAVE Import any photo and move the color pad. It measures your image and moves it toward the look you choose, so a warm shot barely shifts and a cold one travels the whole way. Fine-tune with Intensity and Dehaze, compare before and after with a split view, and layer the pad on top of an AI look. SHARE THE LOOK, NOT THE PHOTO Every look becomes a short code. Send it to a friend and it lands on their photo, adapted to it. SHOOT THE LOOK, SKIP THE EDITING Prefer to get it right in camera? Pick one of 56 hand-built film and cinema grades, see it live in the viewfinder, and capture the photo already graded at full resolution. • Signature grades — Editorial, Cinematic, Bleach Bypass, Noir, Nordic, Amber, Kinfolk, Monaco and more • Film emulations — warm consumer stocks, fine-grain portrait looks, punchy slide film, rich black & white • Cinema grades — teal & orange, midnight, golden hour, log-inspired flat profiles • Digital profiles — Crystal, Vivid, Graphite, Natural Each look is a real color pipeline — tone curves, split toning, channel mixing, grain — not an overlay. BUILT LIKE A CAMERA • Ultra-wide, wide and telephoto lenses • Front and rear capture, flash and composition grid • HDR capture for wider dynamic range • Save Original: keep an untouched copy next to the graded shot • Instant-print style frame • Set a default look so the app opens ready to shoot PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything — the AI editor included — runs on your device. Your photos are never uploaded, and there is no account to create. FREE TO START Grading, AI Looks, look codes and the camera with a set of free grades — all free, no limits on use.
