iPhotos is a privacy-first local photo studio for iPhone and iPad. Capture, beauty retouch, color grading, editing, and export all happen on your device. No account required, originals are not uploaded, and there are no ads getting in the way.
From shutter to share-ready image, iPhotos is a smooth local workflow you can revisit. Photos, face landmarks, and edit parameters stay on device by default. You decide when to export or save to Photos.
Why choose iPhotos
Many editors lead with accounts and cloud templates. iPhotos puts the difference in the local path that helps you finish: on-device face beauty, non-destructive editing, one-tap enhance, rich filters and styles, customizable frames, Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets, Siri and Shortcuts, deep links, and alternate app icons. You do not need to send originals to the cloud just to begin.
A good editor should feel safe first, then feel fast. Safe, because photos stay on device by default. Fast, because capture, beauty, color, frames, compare, and export sit in one continuous experience.
Capture and live beauty
- Native camera feel with flash, timer, grid, and front-camera mirroring
- Full-frame live preview when beauty or a filter is on, for more continuous motion
- Smooth, whiten, slim face, enlarge eyes, teeth, blush, lipstick, and color swatches
- Capture filters with real previews, favorites, and intensity control
- Remember beauty recipes; JPEG or HEVC; stay in Capture or open the editor next
- Looks bake once on import; optionally keep a negative and restore the true original later
Non-destructive editor
The original stays intact. Adjustments live in edit state, so you can revise, undo, and compare anytime.
- One-Tap Enhance for exposure and color on device, with less haze and optional light face beauty
- Full tone controls, about 55 filters, true previews, and long-press favorites
- Beauty presets and per-face controls; about 31 Soft, Film, and Bold styles with intensity
- Face-aware background blur; crop with straighten; about 31 frames with thickness and matte color
- Stickers and text; side-by-side compare or hold to flash the original; precision sliders with haptics
- Strip EXIF, location, and device info before export
Library, export, widgets, and personalization
- Import from Photos or capture in app; browse, filter, sort, search, and multi-select
- Start an edit from search on supported versions; export at Original, High, Medium, or Low
- Clear metadata before sharing; optional auto-save
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets; App Intents, Shortcuts, and deep links
- Light, Dark, or system appearance; Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and English
- Choose Library or Capture as your default start; alternate icons like Frame, Film, Lens, Bokeh, and Swatch
- Optional iCloud sync for preferences only, never for photos or face data
Who it is for
If you care that photos stay local instead of signing up first; if you want beauty, filters, frames, and export in one continuous app; if you use widgets or Shortcuts in your own rhythm, iPhotos will feel closer.
Privacy commitment
Privacy is the default product choice, not an add-on. Photos, edit state, and face landmarks are processed on device. Full landmarks are not uploaded and are not used for identity recognition. Widget thumbnails live only in the App Group. Optional iCloud sync covers settings such as language, appearance, and capture preferences, and does not sync your photos for analysis. We do not upload your photos to the network.
