Frames - RAW Editor

A new look for Looks: explore twelve featured film stocks, save favourites and shape light with Bloom. Plus Trips and a renewed Library. Try it free for 30 days.

Choose your best photographs, develop every RAW and show them full screen. One purchase covers Frames on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV.

Work from Apple Photos, folders and external drives in one catalogue, or import a memory card with duplicate checks and RAW+JPEG pairing. Editing leaves your originals unchanged, and processing and analysis run on your device.

CHOOSE THE KEEPERS Sweep a shoot and keep or reject each photograph with one key or one tap. Rate the keepers and delete rejects only in Cleanup, after you confirm. Compare up to six photographs with linked zoom, see each face up close and check focus with peaking. Search by detected subjects, visible text, captions and keywords, with all, any or none of the keywords you name. Set the title, caption, creator, copyright and keywords of a whole selection at once.

DEVELOP EVERY RAW Set exposure, tone and white balance, or start from Auto Tone. Shape curves, tune eight colour bands and grade shadows, midtones and highlights. Crop, straighten, correct perspective and apply lens profiles. Switch to Monochrome for colour filters and toning, and add grain, halation, vignette and bloom. Start with twelve featured film stocks on a visual shelf, keep favourites close and adjust their strength. All 32 recipes remain available, and Lightroom presets can be imported. Find any tool on the Develop Field Guide's map, in render order, and read its article beside the photograph.

MASKS, REPAIRS AND VERSIONS Brush, draw linear and radial gradients, or mask by colour and brightness. Mask the detected subject, background or sky, each person, or one person's face, eyes, lips, skin or hair. When the original carries them, use the camera's own Sky, Skin and Hair masks. With the Select tool, point at any object. Heal and clone spots, and apply saved sensor-dust maps. Keep any number of versions beside ORIGINAL, compare two with a divider, and paste a treatment onto many photographs.

TRIPS, JOURNEY AND WORLD Explore Trips as photo cards or a list grouped by year, with keeper counts and readiness, and use Download Keepers to fetch a trip's kept originals and render their edits in one press. See a day's stops on Journey's map, in the order you took them. World lights a globe wherever you photographed: brush a span to narrow your library, switch to Every Year or Today, and press Play. Place photographs from a GPX, FIT or KML track.

PRESENT AND EXPORT Present a selection full screen with drift, dissolves, paired portraits and captions. Soft proof, then export JPEG, HEIF, 16-bit TIFF or PNG with presets for size, colour space, metadata, file names and watermark. Add a frame and caption, or share a contact sheet as an image or PDF. With your permission, publish edits to Photos and revert them there.

ON EVERY SCREEN Sync carries your decisions, edits, collections and looks through your private iCloud account. It is on from the first launch, uploads no photographs and turns off in Settings. History in Info shows every decision about a photograph from all your devices. Find any command, look, place or manual topic in the command palette. Bookmarks in the built-in manual sync too. Put a collection or a slideshow in a widget, or keep and reject from one. Frames works with Shortcuts, Siri, Spotlight and Handoff.

ON IPHONE AND IPAD Browse, choose, develop and export by touch, in a layout that follows rotation and a folding iPhone's postures. Place photographs from a Health workout route; the route stays on your device. Imports, exports and Download Keepers show their progress in a Live Activity and keep going when you leave Frames. Put count widgets on the iPhone Lock Screen and assign Present to the Action button. Sky masks and the Select tool need iOS 27 or iPadOS 27.

TRY EVERYTHING A 30-day trial includes every feature. One in-app purchase unlocks Frames on Mac, iPhone, iPad and Apple TV, with no subscription and no Frames account. Your catalogue and edits stay after the trial.
