A film journal for
your everyday.
Lumé grades your photos the way film does — with colour that shifts, grain that sits in the shadows, and light that leaks. Then it keeps the roll.

Thirty-three stocks, named like colours you remember
Not "Filter 04". Every stock in Lumé is a colour grade with a name that tells you what it does to a photograph — Salitre for the wash of a coast, Canela for late warm light, Trufa when the picture wants to be darker than it was.
Each one carries more than colour: the amount of grain, the softness, the halation around a highlight. Applying a stock is one tap; taking it apart is one more.
An editor that speaks in light and colour
Most editors hand you a wall of numbers. Lumé asks a simpler question: warmer or cooler, brighter or darker. Eight controls, every one centred at neutral, so you can always see how far you have come from the photograph you took.
Underneath it is a real pipeline — colour lookup tables, spatial grain, halation, diffusion — running on the GPU so the picture answers while your thumb is still moving.

Your photos live in rolls, not folders
Bring in a batch and they land in a pool you can work through at your own pace. Find the look on one photo, then paste it across the rest of the roll in a single move — the way you would print a whole strip at one setting.
Effects that behave
Grain, dust, light leaks, halation, film burn and soft diffusion — each with its own weight, not a single "vintage" switch.
Frames and layouts
35mm, Polaroid and Super 8 frames, plus fifty layouts for putting a set together.
Words on paper
Type captions, or cut them out of coloured paper — letters with torn edges that sit on the photograph like a scrapbook.
Nothing leaves your phone
Lumé has no accounts, no sign-in, no analytics, no advertising and no servers of its own. It cannot upload your photographs, because there is nowhere for them to go.
Your pictures and your edits stay in Lumé's storage on your device. A photo reaches your library only when you save it, and reaches anyone else only when you share it yourself. Read the privacy policy.
