Grain – Pro Film Camera

A camera for iPhone that develops the sensor's own RAW, with no smoothing or over-sharpening, and gives it a film look. Free, with no account, ads or tracking.

Film looks

Built-in films, your own .cube LUTs, and sliders for grain, halation, black lift and more.

PURE video

Video from the camera's RAW frames at 24/30 fps, or NORMAL video up to 4K 60.

Manual control

Shutter, ISO, exposure, white balance, focus, histogram, zebras and real focal lengths.

What do PURE and APPLE mean?

PURE develops the camera sensor's unprocessed RAW inside Grain: no multi-frame fusion, no noise smoothing, no extra sharpening. APPLE uses the iPhone's normal processing, with your film look on top.

Why does PURE video use NORMAL on one of my lenses?

Some iPhone cameras can't deliver RAW frames fast enough for smooth video. When Grain measures that a lens can't keep up, it records NORMAL video on that lens only and tells you. Other lenses stay PURE.

Why isn't 60 fps available everywhere?

60 fps is NORMAL video at 4K in 16:9, 21:9 or 65:24, on lenses that support it. The iPhone's RAW and 4:3 formats stop at 30 fps.

How do I add my own LUT?

Tap "+ LUT" at the end of the film strip, or Settings › Import .cube LUT. Imported LUTs become films with every slider. Reorder or delete them in Settings › Manage films.

Where are my photos?

In the Photos app, in the "Grain" album. If you turned on "Also save RAW (DNG)", the DNG is saved alongside the photo.

My phone gets warm while recording PURE video.

PURE video develops every frame from RAW on the iPhone, which is hard work. Grain warns you when the phone gets hot; let it cool down or switch to NORMAL for long recordings.
