About

Fotufilm

Features
Read full description

Fotufilm is a film camera and editor that develops photos and video through a physical simulation of photographic film. It is not a preset or a filter placed over the image. Shoot with live film previews, or choose a photo, camera RAW image, or video from your library. Grain, halation, color crossover, softness, and highlight roll-off respond naturally to the light and image. DEVELOP, DON’T FILTER • Preview every included film stock on your image • See film develop live in the camera viewfinder • Edit photos, RAW images, and video with the same film engine • Touch and hold to compare with the original • Work in SDR or HDR FILM AT PHYSICAL SCALE Choose gauges from Super 8 and 16mm through Super 35, 35mm, 120, and 4×5. Grain, softness, and halation change with the frame size instead of behaving like an arbitrary texture. MAKE THE PRINT YOURS Adjust exposure, undertone, shadows, highlights, saturation, vibrance, grain, halation, and development couplers. Grade shadows, midtones, and highlights independently, or select a color or range of light for precise adjustments. Finish with crop presets for standard ratios, film gauges, and social formats, plus rotate, mirror, straighten, and perspective controls. Undo and redo make experimentation easy. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything runs on your device. Fotufilm has no account, ads, analytics, or server uploads. Your photos and videos stay yours.

GR8 Cam turns your iPhone into a compact camera with a photographer's controls and a finished photo every time. It captures 48MP RAW, develops it with the phone's sharpening and AI enhancement switched off, and applies the look you chose, live in the viewfinder. IMAGE CONTROL Fifteen looks: Standard, Vivid, Monotone, Soft Monotone, Hard Monotone, Hi-Contrast B&W, Positive Film, Negative Film, Bleach Bypass, Retro, Cross Processing, Cinema (Yellow), Cinema (Green), Film and Mono Film. Each has its own adjustments, -4 to +4: saturation, hue, high/low key, contrast, highlight and shadow contrast, sharpness, clarity, shading, grain effect and grain size. Monochrome looks add colour filter effects and toning. Reset takes any look back to factory. Standard, Positive Film and Retro are free, with all their adjustments. TWO FOCAL LENGTHS 28mm or 40mm equivalent, 3:2, both cropped from the main camera so switching is instant. The viewfinder shows exactly the frame you will get. WHITE BALANCE LIKE A REAL CAMERA Auto, Daylight, Shade, Cloudy, four fluorescents, Tungsten, CTE, measured Manual and a Kelvin dial, plus an amber-blue / green-magenta compensation grid. Presets lock the camera so colour holds from shot to shot. HIGHLIGHT DIFFUSION FILTER A switchable bloom on the bright parts of the frame for a softer, filmic highlight roll-off. D-RANGE Highlight and shadow correction applied in the RAW develop. RECIPES Save a whole look, white balance included, and recall it in a tap. A CAMERA'S SCREEN Mode, look, white balance and focal length along the top. Live aperture, shutter speed and ISO along the bottom. Tap to focus. Subject tracking for faces, people and pets. The volume buttons fire the shutter. PRIVATE No account, no network, no data collection. Photos go straight to your library as HEIC with full EXIF. Standard, Positive Film and Retro, 28mm, Auto WB and Shade with the compensation grid, D-Range and one recipe slot are free. A single one-time purchase unlocks everything else. No subscription.
