Lensly — Magnifier & Zoom
Magnifier · Zoom · Reading Aid
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Instant zoom, no setup. Contrast filters, flashlight, and text recognition — all in one app. One-time purchase, no subscription.
Lensly turns your iPhone into a digital magnifier — no setup, no account, no ads.
Open the app, point the camera at what you need to read, and zoom up to 10× with a smooth slider or pinch gesture. That's all there is to it.
— BUILT FOR EVERYDAY READING —
Medicine labels, restaurant menus, price tags, serial numbers, wine bottles — Lensly makes the small print readable without reaching for your glasses.
— CONTRAST FILTERS —
Four modes for every lighting situation:
• Original – clean, unprocessed camera feed
• High Contrast – deeper colours, sharper letter edges
• Black & White – minimal distraction, maximum focus
• Inverted – bright text on a dark background
— FLASHLIGHT WITH BRIGHTNESS SLIDER —
A tap turns the light on. A long press reveals a brightness slider — perfect for menus in dim restaurants or labels in dark cupboards.
— FREEZE FRAME —
One tap freezes the image. From there, pinch to zoom digitally, share it directly, or save it to your Photos — no need to point the camera again.
— FOCUS LOCK —
Tap anywhere on screen to lock the autofocus exactly where you need it. No more unwanted refocusing.
