Fuji Frame — AI film-simulation recipes for Fujifilm Turn any look you love into a Fujifilm recipe — then send it straight to your camera. Fuji Frame is the fastest way to create, collect, and load film-simulation recipes for your Fujifilm X-series and GFX cameras. Point it at a frame from your favorite movie, a scan from a film camera, or just describe the vibe in words — and let AI build a complete, camera-ready recipe in seconds. MATCH ANY LOOK FROM A PHOTO OR SCREENSHOT This is where Fuji Frame shines. Upload: • A screenshot from a film or TV show • A photo shot on a real film camera (Portra, Gold, Velvia, CineStill…) • Any reference image whose color you want to chase Fuji Frame analyzes the white balance, contrast curve, color palette, skin tones, and grain, then generates a Fujifilm recipe engineered to emulate that look in-camera. It even explains the key moves it made — including how it approximates cinema-style split-toning on a stills body. BUILD FROM A DESCRIPTION No reference image? Just describe what you want — "warm 70s Kodak Gold," "moody teal cinema," "soft pastel portrait" — and AI returns a tuned recipe with film simulation, tone curves, color, grain, and white balance already dialed in. WRITE RECIPES TO YOUR CAMERA OVER USB Connect a compatible Fujifilm camera with a USB-C cable and Fuji Frame reads your C1–C7 custom slots live — names and all — and writes recipes straight into them. No more typing fifteen settings by hand. • Read every custom slot and see what's loaded • Write any recipe from your library to a slot • Rename and clear slots • See at a glance which recipes are in sync A RECIPE LIBRARY THAT STAYS WITH YOU • Save unlimited recipes • Search and organize your collection • Tweak any recipe with full manual controls • Sign in to sync across your devices FULL FUJIFILM PARAMETER SUPPORT Every recipe covers the settings that matter: • All film simulations — Provia, Velvia, Astia, Classic Chrome, Classic Neg, Nostalgic Neg, Eterna, Eterna Bleach Bypass, Reala Ace, Acros, Monochrome (+ filters), and Sepia • Dynamic Range and Grain (strength & size) • Color Chrome Effect & Color Chrome FX Blue • Highlight, Shadow, Color, Sharpness, Clarity, High ISO NR • White Balance with Kelvin and Red/Blue fine-tuning DESIGNED FOR PHOTOGRAPHERS A calm, tactile interface built around your images — fast to use in the field, and beautiful enough to live on your home screen.
