Features & Capabilities

Darkr is a black and white photo editor that recreates the experience of developing images in a traditional darkroom. Import photos from your camera roll or capture new images with manual large-format, medium-format, and pinhole cameras.

Use intuitive tools to crop, rotate, dodge, burn, blur, tone, and adjust contrast. Darkr’s stripe-based exposure process helps you find the ideal timing and tonal balance, while editable layers let you refine, hide, or remove effects. Add Selenium, Cyanotype, or Sepia tones, simulate film emulsion, and zoom in for detailed edits. Photos and negatives can be exported in resolutions optimized for social media sharing. The app is free to download, with select cameras and advanced editing tools available through one-time in-app purchases.

User Reviews

Darkr is praised for delivering an authentic B&W darkroom vibe with strong results and a feature-rich, elegant design used daily. Recurring downsides include crashes and freezes, an upside-down camera orientation bug, trouble importing photos, cross-device purchase syncing issues, and limited step-by-step guidance with small UI text. Despite these drawbacks, many users value the app for their B&W workflow and learning potential, though improvements in stability, onboarding, and cross-device licensing would help.
