Shoot Apple Log on iPhone or D-Log on a drone, drop the clip in, and get graded video back into Photos without ever opening a desktop editor. No subscription. No cloud upload. Your footage never leaves your device. GRADE WITH LUTs • Apply .cube LUTs to any video or photo • Stack multiple LUTs into a chain, each with its own intensity • Reorder, blend, undo and redo — see every change live on your actual frame • Save any combination as a reusable "Look" BUILT FOR LOG • Built-in Apple Log → Rec.709 and DJI D-Log → Rec.709 conversion, computed from the published color science — not guesswork • LogBloom always applies the log conversion before your creative look, so colors stay correct no matter the order • HDR/HLG clips are tone-mapped to SDR, and the app tells you when that happens FINE-TUNE • Post-grade adjustments: exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint, and vibrance • Hold to compare against the original, or use the split-screen wipe • Built-in histogram scope • Save any frame as a graded HEIC still SMART SUGGESTIONS • LogBloom reads your clip's camera and color profile and surfaces the right conversion LUT first • Works for photos too, using EXIF camera data EXPORT THAT KEEPS YOUR METADATA • Export to Photos or Files as MOV or MP4, HEVC or H.264, up to 4K • Original creation date and GPS location are preserved on the exported clip • Size estimate before you export • Batch mode: grade up to 50 clips, or apply one grade to a whole batch at once PHOTOS TOO • The same LUT pipeline and adjustments work on still photos, with EXIF and GPS preserved YOURS, EVERYWHERE • Your LUTs and Looks sync privately across your devices via iCloud • Share a Look as a single .logbloomlook file — it carries the LUTs inside it • No account, no server, no tracking of your creative work LogBloom is the fastest way to take iPhone and drone log footage from flat to finished, right where you shot it.

LogLab is a focused, professional color grading tool for iPhone and iPad. Film in Log right in the app, or import footage shot in Apple Log, Apple Log 2, Sony S-Log3, Canon C-Log2/C-Log3 or DJI D-Log, and grade it with accurate, colorimetrically grounded log-to-Rec.709 conversion in a real-time, 10-bit Metal-powered preview. LOG CAMERA Capture Log video with any iPhone. Pro iPhones record Apple Log and Apple Log 2 natively; every other iPhone records LogLab Log, an Apple Log–compatible format converted from the camera's 10-bit HDR video. Choose 4K or 1080p, 24 to 120 fps, your aspect ratio, and high-bitrate HEVC or ProRes 422 HQ on iPhones that support it. MANUAL GRADING Fine-tune exposure, white balance (temperature & tint), highlights, shadows, saturation, contrast, grain and halation with precise, responsive sliders — and undo any change. LUTS Browse a set of built-in creative looks, or import your own: .cube and .3dl LUTs, whole LUT folders, or DaVinci Resolve PowerGrades (.drx). LogLab converts your clip to whatever log format a LUT was made for, and LUT thumbnails preview each look on your own footage. ASPECT RATIO Crop to 16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:4, 4:5 or 9:16 — centered and distortion-free, ready for any platform. COMPARE & REVIEW Drag the before/after handle over your preview to compare your grade with the untouched source. EXPORT Export to MP4 or MOV in H.264, H.265 or ProRes 422 HQ, straight to Photos or Files, with your original audio. Copy a grade from one clip and paste it onto another to keep a consistent look across a whole shoot. Works on iPhone, iPad and iPhone Duo, with layouts made for every screen. LOGLAB PRO Unlock the Log camera, the full library of creative LUTs, LUT and PowerGrade import, and ProRes export. Choose a one-time lifetime purchase or a monthly subscription — both work on all your iPhones and iPads signed in with the same Apple Account. Manual grading, log conversion and H.264/H.265 export are free. The monthly subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period, and is charged to your Apple Account. Manage or cancel it anytime in Settings → your name → Subscriptions.
