A phone photo is a decision someone else made for you. Printlight gives it back. Shoot in RAW, see the look live in the viewfinder, and keep the original forever.

01 · Shoot

See the lookbefore you shoot.

The look runs live in the viewfinder, so you can chase the light that makes it work.

Questions

Quickanswers.

Which iPhones does it run on?

Any iPhone that runs iOS 26: iPhone 11 or newer.

Do I need a Pro model?

No. Any supported iPhone shoots RAW. ProRAW needs an iPhone that supports it.

Can I use it on photos I already have?

Yes. Import from Photos or Files and give them any look.

Does a look change my original?

Never. The RAW stays untouched. A look only changes the print you make from it.

What is a negative and what is a print?

The negative is the untouched capture. A print is an edit of it: a small recipe you can branch, rename or delete without touching the negative.

What can I export?

HEIC or JPEG in Display P3, up to full size. You can also export the original negative.

Where do my photos go?

They stay on your iPhone. If you like, Printlight files saved prints into a Printlight album in Photos.

Is there a subscription?

No. $2.99, once.

What about video?

Stills first. Video is next.

iPad or Android?

iPhone only for now.

Where can I get it?

Printlight launches on the App Store in most countries and regions. The European Union isn't included yet.
