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.
- Feature limitations:
*ProRAW requires iPhone 12 Pro or Pro Max or newer
The Ultra Wide and selfie cameras do not support RAW or manual focus unless on iOS 15.
Waveform requires iPhone 8 or newer
Depth Capture requires iPhone 7 Plus or newer

I feel ripped off
It seems that to get the 7 day free trial I had to sign up for a year. On day 2, realizing that the app is way over my head, I tried to cancel only to find out that I’ve been charged for a year’s subscription. I’ve been in touch with the developer who kicked the problem back to Apple and provided a link to get a refund from Apple, which I’ve tried many times but doesn’t work. I’m SOL I guess.
No, it is NOT free
Why do you advertise it as free when it is not. What a confusing time waste.
Not Free!
Requires a subscription service or one time fee of 75$! Not what I was looking for from a “free” app :/ disappointed
Aucune idée ça change quoi halide
Ça ou un autre lens ça change quoi? C’est du pareil au même! C jump ça te dit que c’est mieux que que ce que tu as de déjà et au final tes images sont pas si meilleures que si tu avais pas bourré ton iPhone d’application
Super app
Truly a manual photo app perfectly integrated with the iPhone 15 pro, the action button and the PolarPro grip. But... it would need a screen saver mode, which is essential for battery survival when you're out for a long time taking photos.
Great app but…
The camera is nice but does not support Tiff format and cannot add info in the Exif protocol.
Confusing interface, inadequate docs
The app functions well but is remarkably awkward to use. Meaningless icons appear and disappear, and nowhere do the developers provide a translation into English of what the icons mean and a diagram of the control structure. Requests for this basic documentation have been ignored.
Not as polished as I had hoped
Halide has an amazing reputation, so I was expecting something super clean, polished and perfected. But it’s not as I expected - it’s somewhat middle of the road in terms of camera apps I’ve tried. It comes down to little things, like small UI animation bugs, inconsistent icons, etc. Nothing catastrophic, but a bit surprising given is reputation, and I didn’t feel it offered enough to justify its unusually high price in comparison to other manual/RAW camera apps - many of which had nicer UIs and more features for a lot less money (ie. raw photo editing or video recording).
The “go to” Camera app for iPhone
This is by far the best camera app available on the App Store. On my iPhone 14 Pro Max, Halide runs silky smooth & I’ve yet to experience any bugs or stutters so kudos to the app’s developers for their great work
