About Lensly — Magnifier & Zoom
Lensly turns your iPhone into a digital magnifier — no setup, no account, no ads. Open the app, point the camera at what you need to read, and zoom up to 10× with a smooth slider or pinch gesture. That's all there is to it. — BUILT FOR EVERYDAY READING — Medicine labels, restaurant menus, price tags, serial numbers, wine bottles — Lensly makes the small print readable without reaching for your glasses. — CONTRAST FILTERS — Four modes for every lighting situation: • Original – clean, unprocessed camera feed • High Contrast – deeper colours, sharper letter edges • Black & White – minimal distraction, maximum focus • Inverted – bright text on a dark background — FLASHLIGHT WITH BRIGHTNESS SLIDER — A tap turns the light on. A long press reveals a brightness slider — perfect for menus in dim restaurants or labels in dark cupboards. — FREEZE FRAME — One tap freezes the image. From there, pinch to zoom digitally, share it directly, or save it to your Photos — no need to point the camera again. — FOCUS LOCK — Tap anywhere on screen to lock the autofocus exactly where you need it. No more unwanted refocusing. LENSLY PRO – ONE-TIME, NO SUBSCRIPTION Pro unlocks the complete feature set: • Saved Presets – store your favourite zoom and filter combinations for instant recall • Reading Guide – a line-reader overlay to keep your eye on one line at a time • Yellow on Black – the classic accessibility contrast mode, enhanced with edge sharpening • Text Recognition (OCR) – scan printed text and display it large on screen • Read Aloud – have recognised text spoken back to you; language is detected automatically • Translate – translate recognised text directly in the app, on-device with no internet required (iOS 18) • In-App Gallery – keep frozen frames safely stored inside Lensly • Home Screen Widget – launch Lensly with a single tap from your home screen • Siri Shortcuts – "Open Lensly in OCR mode" or "Hey Siri, open Lensly with torch" No subscription. No monthly fee. Buy once, use forever. PRIVACY Lensly requires no account and no internet connection. The camera is used locally on your device only. No image, no text, and no usage data ever leaves your iPhone. Lensly – because legible is non-negotiable.
