On device workflow

Offline photo editing on iPhone.

FilmLook processes photos on your iPhone or iPad. It does not upload your photos to FilmLook servers, and core editing does not depend on a cloud account.

What works without a photo upload?

You can select a photo, apply any of the 106 original filters, adjust light and color, crop, rotate, add vignette or grain, and save a full resolution copy through the device workflow.

When is internet access needed?

The App Store needs a connection for the initial download, purchase information, and purchase restoration. Those Apple services are separate from image processing. Your photo pixels are not sent to FilmLook servers.

Why local processing matters

Local processing reduces network waiting and keeps the editing workflow available when travel or mobile coverage is limited. It also supports the app privacy model.
