Your Creative Process
Your Creative Process

You might love your iPhone's super-smart, AI based image processing, or you might not.

That's why Halide lets you pick your processing — even between shots. Choose from iPhone's default image processing, or reduced processing, or choose Process Zero: a single-shot RAW capture mode that gives you beautiful film-like shots with minimal processing and zero AI right out of the camera.

The new Image Lab lets you re-develop the shot later for different exposures, or you can edit your photo in an image editor with huge flexibility — because Halide saves raw sensor data along with your shot.

WHAT MAKES HALIDE SPECIAL
Halide is the award-winning camera app made by three friends. Here’s what makes it unique.
Designed like a real camera

Halide was designed with our favorite object in mind: the delightfully tactile and beautiful film camera, without compromising on the flexibility and power of mobile photography.

Gestures are modeled after the intuitive manipulation of dials: swiping up and down for exposure, and left and right for focus. The interface is simple and free of clutter, letting you focus on your artistic process.

We pay homage to the design heritage of more than a century of camera design with completely custom typefaces and typography throughout based on etched type on camera bodies and lenses.
