Non-destructive editing by design

Edit freely, and keep the original. Darkroom gives you non-destructive editing from the start, so nothing is locked in. Experiment with presets as springboards for new looks. Every adjustment is reversible, and every step is saved in your full edit history. Copy, paste, and refine across photos or videos without ever committing or damaging your originals. From first draft to final export, your work stays entirely under your control.

Photo and video in one flow

One workflow. Every medium. Darkroom brings photos and videos together in a single, fluid editing experience. Work with Portrait, RAW, ProRAW, slow motion, 4K, and even 8K video using the same set of tools, from color and curves to masks and presets. Adjust exposure, refine tones, and recover detail in real time, so editing motion feels as precise and immediate as editing stills.

Take every edit further with Darkroom+

AI masks, cinematic color, and analog glow — on photos and video. Try every tool free. Darkroom+ is only required when you export.

4,015 Free Community Presets

Free looks from photographers worldwide — skip the blank slate, start from a look you love, then refine it until it's unmistakably yours.

Press and App Store reviews

Every tool to find a look.

Presets, grain, and frames to set a mood. RAW, crop, tone, and batch to finish the picture — all included.

  • Custom Presets — Save a look once — photos, video, and every device.

  • Grain — Film texture that scales — analog grain, not noise.

  • Color Frames — A frame from the photo itself, or a Stories crop in a tap.

  • Exposure and Tone — Recover highlights and shadows. Set black and white point.

  • Clarity — Sharpen texture or smooth skin, without a crunchy halo.

  • Crop and Perspective — Straighten, reframe, and fix geometry in one place.

  • RAW and ProRAW — True RAW from 600+ cameras, plus iPhone ProRAW.

  • Histogram — Catch exposure and color casts before they hit export.

  • Batch Editing — One edit you love, applied to the rest of the shoot.

  • Copy and Paste — Bring across only the adjustments you want.

  • Export — Photos, video, and presets, out to wherever you share.

  • iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision — Start on a phone, finish on a Mac. Same tools, no handoff.

  • Start Instantly — Open a photo and start shaping it — nothing to set up first.

  • Albums and Folders — Keep a shoot together and favorites close at hand.

  • Shortcuts — Crop, frame, and export without opening the editor.
