Film Loupe

Instant Negative Viewer

$2.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Film Loupe is the fast, focused way to view photo negatives before you decide what is worth scanning. Open the app and point your camera at a negative. Film Loupe shows a live positive view instantly, with simple one-handed controls for contrast and screen brightness. When you find a frame worth keeping, save the inverted view to Photos. Built for quick triage, not complicated editing: • Live negative-to-positive camera view • One-tap save to Photos • Vertical drag for contrast adjustment • Right-edge drag for screen brightness • Built-in adjustable lightbox mode • Works on iPhone and iPad • No account, no ads, no subscription • On-device processing Use Film Loupe at a table with old family negatives, on an iPad as a clean backlight, or whenever you just need to answer: “What is on this frame?” It is deliberately simple: no project library, no batch workflow, no social feed, and no editing suite. Just a calm utility for seeing your negatives quickly.

Color negatives now look richer and more natural with a dedicated Color Negative mode. Automatic film-base calibration compensates for the orange mask, while new warmth and vibrance controls make fine-tuning easy. Standard Invert is still available anytime.
