ShutterLife reads the shutter count directly from your camera's image files, no internet, no data upload, no account required. Works on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. HOW IT WORKS Import a photo straight from your photo library or the Files app on iPhone and iPad. ShutterLife reads the EXIF data and instantly shows you the shutter count. IMPORTANT: ORIGINAL PHOTO REQUIRED The photo must be in its original format. Messaging apps like WhatsApp strip EXIF data when sending. Please have the photo shared via AirDrop, email (original size), or a cloud service (iCloud, Dropbox, Google Drive). CAREFULLY TESTED ShutterLife was built and tested on real camera files, not on samples or simulations. ShutterLife reports exactly the value stored in the image file. Note: firmware updates or counter resets (e.g. Fujifilm bodies with a 15-bit counter) may affect the value shown. The remaining-life indicator is based on manufacturer ratings and is for orientation only. SELECTED MODELS Complete list of all supported models available in the app. BEFORE YOU BUY: ShutterLife can only show the shutter count if your camera writes it into the image file. Canon and Sony DSLRs, smartphones (iPhone/iPad), most compact cameras, and the Leica M series cannot be read. They don't store the count in the photo. Before buying, check whether your model is in the list of supported cameras. • Canon: EOS R5, R6, R6 II, R7, R8, R50 • Nikon: Z9, Z8, Z7 II, Z7, Z6 III, Z6 II, Z6, Z5, Z5 II, Zf, Zfc, Z50, Z50 II, Z30, D6, D5, D4, D850, D810, D800/E, D780, D750, D700, D610, D500, D7500, D7200, D7100, D5600, D3500, D3400, D3300 • Sony: A1, A9 II, A9, A7R V/IV/III/II, A7S III/II, A7 V/IV/III/II, A7C, A7C II, A7CR, A6700, A6600, A6500, A6400, A6300, A6100, A6000, FX3, ZV-E10 • Fujifilm: X100VI, X100V, GFX100 II, X-T5, X-T4, X-T3, X-T2, X-T30 II, X-H2S, X-H2, X-H1, X-S20, X-S10, X-Pro3, X-E4 • Pentax: K-1, K-1 II, K-3 III, K-3 II, K-3, KF, KP, K-70, K-S2, K-5 II, K-5, K-7, K-50, K-30, 645Z, 645D • Leica: Q2, Q2 Monochrom, Q3, CL, SL2, SL3, SL3-S, D-Lux 8 • Ricoh: GR III SHUTTER STATUS See at a glance how many of the manufacturer's rated actuations have already been reached. The visual ring shows the ratio compared to the manufacturer's specification, an indication of the shutter's condition and helpful when pricing used cameras. The ring fills for models with a confirmed manufacturer rating. For all others it stays neutral and shows the actuation count without a percentage, rather than estimating a number. SUPPORTED FILE FORMATS JPG, HEIC, HEIF, HIF, CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, PEF, DNG PRIVACY FIRST All processing happens on your device. No photos are uploaded. No analytics. No tracking.

Ratings & Reviews

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

HEIF files are now read. If you shoot in HDR mode on Canon, Sony or Fujifilm, ShutterLife reads the shutter count from .HIF files too. History becomes your camera's timeline. Every reading now shows the capture date as recorded by the camera, because a shutter count is as old as the photo it came from. The camera card and the copyable report state the date too. A tidier History. A clearer header, honest notes for cameras without a confirmed manufacturer rating, and the CSV export explains its lower-bound column. Better with VoiceOver. The camera card speaks every line in visible order, and percentages are no longer rounded when spoken. Small fixes in the help texts, including the X100 series.
