About Sunbeam Editor
Sunbeam is an advanced mobile photo editor built to be intuitive, tactile, and private. — POWERFUL TOOLS IN THUMB'S REACH A fleet of tactile sliders lets you make refinements without needing to shift around or burrow into menus. ADVANCED CAPABILITIES Color grade, mix individual colors, apply film-like effects like grain and halation, adjust tone, and more. REFOCUS A powerful on-device depth model allows you to tap a subject and adjust focus and bokeh intensity on the fly for any photo in your library. MAKE IT YOUR OWN Save your own edits or import cinema-grade 3D LUTs as customizable presets. PRESET CAROUSEL Find the right look by browsing presets that apply in real time as you scroll, and freely dial in the intensity once you've found the right one. BATCH EDITS MADE EASY Effortlessly apply presets across your library for quicker edits. SMART MASKS Automatically select a subject or region to make local adjustments. PUT YOUR BEST PHOTO FORWARD Toggle between edited and original views. Undo up to 50 times, or completely revert changes non-destructively at any time. Explore parallel edits with separate versions of a photo. EXPORT CONTROL Independently manage the format, scale, and included metadata of each export in a batch, or apply all settings globally. CLICKS, TICKS, THUMPS, AND POPS Sunbeam takes cues from the physicality of hardware. These small details make the editing process feel deliberate and close at hand. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Editing and rendering happen on your device. Sunbeam requires no account and uses no analytics, advertising, or tracking. Your photos are never uploaded to servers operated by Sunbeam. GO INFINITE Sunbeam's core editing tools are entirely free to use. An optional one-time Sunbeam Infinite purchase unlocks unlimited saved presets, alternate versions and 3D LUT imports, complete undo history, and full export controls.
