Halide is an Apple Design Award winning, acclaimed camera from the team behind Spectre, Apple's App of the Year of 2019.

Halide is the most powerful camera for iPhone with the most elegant, simple design — A pro camera for everyone.

This is a groundbreaking app for deliberate and thoughtful photography. 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 ProRAW support* is unmatched. Strike the right balance between file size and editing latitude by choosing between 12-bit and 10-bit ProRAW, with or without JPEG sidecars. Effortlessly switch to native RAW, for greater detail and speed.

Features:
- Beautiful, intuitive gesture-based interface, usable with one hand
- Take portraits of pets and objects on single-camera phones, like iPhone XR and iPhone SE
- Manual focus, and powerful tools like a Focus Loupe and Focus Peaking
- Smart automatic mode with Halide Smart RAW, optimizing settings with Machine Learning for RAW files with less noise and more detail
- Full manual exposure controls including shutter speed, ISO and white balance
- Best-on-iPhone exposure tools: histograms, XDR 14-bit RGB waveform, and color zebra stripes
- Captures RAW, TIFF, HEIC or JPG for the best quality shots
- 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!
- Instant RAW development process to quickly develop your RAW files in a tap
- Technical Readout to view all details of your iPhone camera hardware
- Apple Watch companion app for remote shooting
- Siri Shortcuts support to trigger the shutter remotely, or open Halide in Auto or Manual mode
- Become a better photographer by signing up for comprehensive lessons like a 10-day quick tutorial right from the app.
- Private by Design: Halide does not include any trackers or tracking, has not third party libraries, does not collect data or photos, and never transmits any information. Halide also includes features to reduce spying by companies like Facebook by limiting location information on photos shared from the app.

Took my money!

I signed up for the free trial and it took $18 out of my account very unhappy and currently looking for a way to get in contact for a refund!

Halide lots of potential but slow to load

enzyme69 on

I use Halide since iPhone 5s. It has lots of advanced Pro features. But with recent updates espexially iPhone with multiple lens, the loading time of the app is too slow to be camera app I would use everyday. 5 seconds for it to be ready on iPhone 15 Pro Max. compared to less than a second for stock iOS Camera app.

Not just the best app, but the best support too!

Top-of-class app design and ongoing development. The app is responsive - and so are the support team. They speak photographer, so they know what you are talking about. It’s a breath of fresh air.

Disappointing

JindyChris on

I purchased the full version with unlimited lifetime updates. They changed the rules so I’d have to pay again. Don’t trust this company.

Requires subscription to use.

Don’t bother.

Update Release Description

pj634 on

Great to see an app that keeps in touch with their customers and describes updates fully and I, for one, really appreciate the comprehensive information. 😁

Wild boasts. Poor delivery.

Rick Kangaroo on

What a surprise to find that a camera app claiming to be so advanced can’t even do something as basic as adjust the aspect ratio. I feel completely ripped off with an annual subscription that I find a few days after buying it the camera is really unusable for composing shots. I’d suggest you look at other camera apps that at least include such necessary features.

Support absent

frnkfntn on

I contacted support. No reply. Two weeks now.

No Way to Know what it can’t do.

ItsTheFlyingDutchman on

I was hoping Halide could do 48mp RAW on my iPhone 15, but since this can only be done with ProRAW option (I don’t have that option available) RAW photos are just 12mp making it worse than Lightroom and I just find it having a unintuitive UI. Not worth my money.

Great app, fair pricing

nhawk83 on

An incredibly polished and reliable app. I bought the original version and got a handful of new features for free, even though the developers switched to a new subscription model. Fair. Much appreciated!
