Kelvy - White Balance Meter

Free to use and no purchase necessary. Measure color temperature and tint, get camera-specific white balance guidance. Good for Video & Photos

Kelvy turns your iPhone or iPad into a practical white balance assistant for location scouting, lighting setups, photography, and filmmaking. Aim the camera at a neutral white or gray reference under the light you want to measure to estimate its color temperature and tint, then see settings tailored to your selected camera.
