Blenda Downloads & RevenueBlenda: RAW Photo Editor · App Store

You already pay for iCloud storage. Blenda puts it to work. Your whole photo library lives there, in folders you can see, with no new subscription and no new cloud.

Your iCloud storage, your folders
Follow a folder you already keep in iCloud Drive and Blenda reads what is there, years of it, RAW and HEIC and JPEG side by side. Or import from your camera roll or Files, and the photographs are copied into a folder you choose. Blenda never changes, moves, renames or deletes a file in a folder it follows, and whatever you import from stays as it was.

There is no Blenda server and no Blenda account. Your photographs, previews and edits stay in the storage of your own Apple Account and count against your iCloud plan.

One library on iPhone, iPad and Mac
The first device to read a photograph shares what it learned, so the others do not start over. Albums, keywords, ratings, edits and presets follow, usually within a minute. Previews stay on the device. The original comes down at full resolution when you edit it and is let go again when you are done.

The original stays as it was
Every edit is a small set of instructions kept apart from the file. Change your mind a year later and nothing is lost, because nothing was written over. Every step stays in the history, and another direction can be kept as a version beside the first.

A RAW editor with everything in reach
Exposure and tone, a curve over a live histogram, white balance, a color mixer, grading wheels for shadows, midtones and highlights, sharpening and noise reduction. Straighten and crop. Merge a bracket into HDR or a sweep into a panorama. Zoom to the pixel, up to 32×. Export at full resolution to Photos, Files or anywhere a share sheet reaches. HEIC and JPEG get the same reversible editing as RAW.

Masks and AI that run on the device
Select the subject, the sky, the background, an object you paint over roughly, or a person. Draw linear and radial gradients, paint with a brush, or select by color, luminance or depth range. Generative Remove fills what you brush away. Adaptive presets look at the photograph before they change it. The models ship inside Blenda, and nothing is uploaded to be understood.

Search for what is in a photograph
Type "dog" or "wine bottle", in English. The iPad and the Mac describe each photograph on the device, and the iPhone takes what they have finished. Filenames, cameras, lenses, places and keywords are searchable too.

And the rest
A map of where your photographs were taken. Your own XMP presets, DCP and ICC profiles and cube LUTs. Themes that change everything except the photograph. On the Mac, a menu bar and keyboard shortcuts.

Free, with a tip jar
Blenda is free, with no ads and no analytics. If it earns its place, there is a tip jar in Settings. A tip unlocks nothing.

Worth knowing
You need an iCloud account with iCloud Drive turned on. Indexing thousands of photographs for the first time takes hours and sometimes a night. You can browse and edit meanwhile.
