Read full description

Tilt your camera up at a building and the verticals lean inward. Let your hand tip and the horizon goes crooked. GridFix fixes this the most intuitive way possible: draw guide lines along the edges that should be straight, and the app computes the perspective correction that makes them truly vertical and horizontal. And now, you can get it right at the moment you shoot. LIVE-CORRECTED CAMERA - The corrected image shows live in the viewfinder. What you see is what you get, no guesswork afterwards - A tilt readout shows your pitch and roll at all times - Correct verticals only, or auto-level the horizon as well - Pinch to zoom, EV compensation scale, long-press AE/AF lock, self-timer, volume-button shutter - Level sensor calibration: a fixed offset from your case or sensor tolerance is measured once and subtracted from then on - The session gallery lets you review shots, compare with the original, or send one straight into the editor EDIT IMPORTED PHOTOS - Guide-line correction: no blind slider fiddling, just show the app which lines should be straight - Double-tap to zoom: magnify right where you are working and trace window frames and beams precisely - A loupe keeps the edge visible while you drag, positioned for right- or left-handed use - Lens distortion correction: fixes the outward bow of ultra-wide edges, which perspective correction alone cannot fix - Fine-tuning: adjust every axis manually after the correction - Crop, rotate, flip, and auto-trim the blank edges correction leaves behind - Edit history: every session is saved automatically, so you can reopen and continue any time IMPORT AND EXPORT - Import from Photos, Files and iCloud Drive, or share into GridFix from any other app - Export JPEG, HEIF, PNG or TIFF, at original resolution or a custom size - Everything runs on your device: no account, no network, your photos never leave your phone FREE AND SUBSCRIPTION Every correction tool is free: guide lines, lens distortion, fine-tune sliders, cropping and the live-corrected camera are all fully usable, with unlimited viewfinder time. The limits are only on output: 3 editor exports a day, 10 camera saves a day, both at up to 2048px on the long edge, JPEG, without capture info or location (the capture date and orientation are kept). Subscribing unlocks: - Unlimited exports and unlimited camera saves - Original-resolution export (up to 48MP; the free tier caps the long edge at 2048px) - RAW import (ProRAW, DNG); PNG, TIFF and HEIF export at maximum encoder quality - Full EXIF kept on exports and captures (lens, exposure, location) - Live-corrected video recording (high-bitrate HEVC) GridFix does one thing well: it makes crooked lines straight. No color grading, no filters, no object removal. Available in English, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French and Spanish.

About

Camera Grid

Features
Read full description

Camera Grid is a camera that knows composition. It reads the scene in front of you, picks the composition that fits, and draws it as a live target over the viewfinder — then scores how close you are, and tells you the one move that gets you there. When you land it, the ring locks. Silence is the reward. WHAT IT DOES • Reads the scene on your iPhone: the subject, people, objects, the horizon, lines and symmetry, and how you're holding the phone. • Picks the right guide automatically — or you choose one from the library. • Draws the guide as a target bound to your subject, not a sticker you squint through. • Scores your framing live, and coaches you with one simple instruction at a time: pan, tilt, step back, zoom. • Locks and taps when the composition is right. 31 COMPOSITION GUIDES Rule of Thirds, One-Third, Two-Thirds, Dead Centre, One-Point Perspective, Table-Top 45°, Aerial, Single Vertex, Opposing Vertices, Triangle, Parallel, Negative Space, Fill the Frame, Vertical Symmetry, Half-Body and Environmental Portraits — free. Camera Grid Pro adds 15 more: Golden Ratio, Golden Spiral, Diagonal Method, Low-Angle Hero, Triangle Apex Down, Aerial Triangle, Odd Rule, Diagonal Pair, Full-Body Portrait, Two-Point Perspective, Leading Lines, Natural Frame, Reflection, Radial and S-Curve. A REAL CAMERA • HEIF or Apple ProRAW, at 12, 24 or 48 MP • Live Photos with sound • 0.5× to 5× zoom, pinch, tap to focus, exposure and AE/AF lock • 4:3, 16:9 and 1:1, portrait or landscape • Optional location, written only into your photo YOUR PHOTOS, WITH THEIR STORY Every shot keeps its score and the guide you used. Open a photo and press and hold to see the grid exactly as it was when you took it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your iPhone. No account, no analytics, no cloud. Your photos go to your Photos library and nowhere else. CAMERA GRID PRO Unlock all 15 Pro guides with a yearly subscription or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Family Sharing included. The subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the period; manage or cancel it any time in your Apple ID settings.
