Halide is the Apple Design Award winning camera app with over 10,000 reviews!
The most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.
Perfect for deliberate and thoughtful photography - for beginners and experts alike. Get started with our included 10 days of photography lessons to get up to speed, or enjoy Macro photography on any iPhone with our Neural Macro feature. With high-end tools, and a beautiful interface designed from scratch for the latest iPhones and inspired by the controls of professional cameras, Halide is your go-to camera when you want to really take a photo rather than a quick snapshot.
Use gestures in Halide to change exposure and manual focus with a swipe, or switch from its powerful automatic mode to manual shooting.
Halide’s professional tools are the most powerful in the App Store, with XDR (Extended Dynamic Range) 14-bit RAW streaming waveform views, color zebras, focus assists like focus peaking and loupe, histograms, an adaptive level grid, and manual depth capture. Customize controls to adapt the app to your needs.
Halide’s control is unmatched. Shoot without any of Apple’s image processing with our minimal, film-like Process Zero — or use Apple Processing for HEIC / JPG shots and ProRAW. Our ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW and megapixel options. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.
Features:
- Beautiful, intuitive gesture-based interface, usable with one hand
- Become a better photographer by signing up for comprehensive lessons like a 10-day quick tutorial right from the app.
- Get macro shots on any iPhone, even without a macro lens with Neural Macro
- Take portraits of pets and objects on single-camera phones, like iPhone XR and iPhone SE
- Take control of processing! Skip Apple’s image processing altogether with Process Zero, or quicky tap our format picker to choose the right processing for your shot.
- Lock screen widgets and home screen widgets for quick shooting
- Manual focus, and powerful tools like a Focus Loupe and Focus Peaking
- Edit Process Zero shots in the app with our powerful Image Lab slider

- Best-on-iPhone exposure tools: histograms, XDR 14-bit RGB waveform, and color zebra stripes

- Grid overlay with built-in level
- A powerful reviewer to view DNG, JPG, HEIC and Live Photos, as well as Portrait depth data and mattes, with a detailed metadata view - with batch export!

Ratings and Reviews
Editors’ Choice
Your iPhone and iPad have excellent cameras and the picture wizards at Lux Optics want to help photographers make the most of it with Halide Mark II. This camera app is designed around two principles: the kind of granular settings you’d expect from a professional DSLR, and a slick, one-handed interface that complements today’s devices.
gamechanger
benutze halide seit jahren auf meinem iphone xs und hab mit der app einer meiner besten fotos gemacht, die möglichkeit raw fotos zu machen und das jederzeit ist einfach geil,
die größe der fotos ist auch ein bruchteil von den apple proraw fotos, weiter so 🙌🏻
aja und 12€ im jahr nachdem man 5 jahre gratis updates bekommen hat ist echt nicht so tragisch 😂
Snap like a pro
Amazing app turns your iPhone camera into a professional camera with great image quality and a ton of features. It’s amazing what good software can get out of the camera.
