Thoughtfully and Deliberately Frame Your Photos. With Halide, you get all of the controls you need to make your iPhone photography deliberate, thoughtful, and meaningful. You're able to easily control exposure and focus. You can also view a histogram, to readily see what sort of curves you can expect from your photograph.

Thoughtfully and Deliberately Frame Your Photos
Fantastic Camera Controls

Fantastic Camera Controls. Halide includes a comprehensive suite of controls for your camera. You can choose to shoot in RAW or JPEG, and can adjust the ISO of your shot. You can also adjust white balance, exposure, and focus. An innovative feature called Focus Peaking instantly shows you the areas of sharpest contrast in the framed image before you take your photograph.

A Handy Grid and Level. Not only does Halide include the almost prerequisite overlay grid, but it also provides a level. You can see how straight or skewed your camera is before you take the shot. That way, you're able to adjust your grip and positioning before you snap that photograph. No more Leaning Towers of Lisa when you snap a picture of your loved one.

A Handy Grid and Level
Make the controls your own

Make the controls your own. If you aren't happy with the placement of the buttons in the Quick Bar, you can adjust them. Move them around, swap them, or leave them as they are. The only thing you can't do is move buttons from the top to the bottom, or vice versa.

What is it about?

**Please note: Halide is *not free*. We do offer a 7-day free trial for annual memberships. Don't like subscriptions? You can also buy the app outright with a single in-app purchase.**

For those who...

  • Are serious about their photography
  • Want to have total control over their shots

Not for those who...

  • Are perfectly happy with the default Camera app
  • Don't want to take their photography up a notch

Why we love it

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.
