Mono Lab
Experiment in black and white.
$3.99 · Designed for iPad
Mono Lab is a black and white image lab. 100+ experimental filters that push tone, structure, and texture into bold, unexpected transformations.
Experiment with images in black and white. Mono Lab is designed to refine light, bend structure, distort form, and explore the unexpected.
From subtle relief to structural collapse, topology drift, mesh warps, fracture effects, misregistration, and controlled instability... every tool is built for experimentation without distraction. It's responsive and fun.
Introducing 3D Surface Mode: a dimensional approach to distortion.
Map images across 12 surfaces and interpret them through 13 distinct lenses. Adjust depth manually. Refine spatial tension. Each surface behaves differently. Each lens reshapes the result.
Monochromatic.
Just structure, tone, dimension, and possibility.
What You Can Do

Mono Lab is built for designers, artists, photographers, illustrators, and visual experimenters working in black and white.
New Filters
Edge Halo - Creates a glowing edge-trace effect around subjects
Phase Veil - Organic band warping with subject emphasis for dreamy, layered looks
Signal Drift - Parallel scan-lines that follow image tone with natural drift
Signal Field - Flow-field lines that trace image gradients for a topographic, engraved look
Improved Filters
Local Threshold - New geometric shape options for varied pattern styles
Engraving - Advanced angle, jitter, and adaptive spacing controls
Refined Experience
Streamlined slider controls across multiple filters: fewer knobs, better defaults
Better stability when working with 3D surfaces
Performance and code quality improvements under the hood
