FLEXIBLE PHOTOGRAPHY
Leica LUX simplifies the photographic process to capture life's moments with clarity. Whether you're shooting landscapes, street scenes, or intimate portraits, Leica LUX offers countless creative opportunities. Photographers of every skill level can craft masterpieces, using automatic mode for spontaneous snapshots or diving into the manual settings to tweak every detail.
LENS SIMULATIONS
Stunning simulations of legendary Leica lenses bring prestige and personality to your mobile photography. Each lens has a distinct visual style, from the Summilux-M 28mm f/1.4 ASPH to the Noctilux-M 50mm f/1.2 ASPH, with more lens options coming soon. The custom software engine also creates authentic-looking bokeh directly on your iPhone.

Leica LUX was developed in accordance with the acclaimed color science of Leica, offering the same color corrections and film presets as found in Leica cameras. These Leica Looks include Leica Classic, Leica Contemporary, Leica Black & White, and Leica Vivid. More than 15 looks are currently available, giving your images rich textures, emotional nuance, and inimitable drama.

This app is truly a gift! The colour science, lens simulations, and UI are an absolute joy to use.The standout feature is how it eliminates the iPhone’s overly sharp, artificial look. My favourite colour profile is Leica Chrome—it delivers such a stunning aesthetic.Here’s my editing process for the best results:1.Shoot in ‘P’ mode with the Leica Chrome colour profile, using the 24mm or 120mm lenses. This ensures you get the highest resolution and the most natural-looking image.2.Add background blur and grain afterwards in Lightroom Mobile. The new AI blur feature makes it incredibly easy to create a realistic background blur while preserving top-notch resolution.While the Leica app offers background blur in ‘A’ mode, the image quality suffers, and the blur itself isn’t applied as seamlessly.Finally, an app that delivers stunning colour science while removing the artificial sharpening! I’ve used other apps like Halide before, but Leica’s colour science is hard to beat.
Cool but not versatile and strong in all aspects
Beyond the ocean
I hope Leica Lux team understand that we are paying a premium money for a premium app, despite the app is cool to use but still to far in order to be use as the only or main app for photography in our phone. The RAW format is way worse than any other camera apps. I’m using other app for RAW which the picture quality is much better and sharper than this, however we can have lots of fun with the A mode, Leica pictures profiles and lenses simulation. But if you want to take a quality and pure RAW pictures, this is not the one and it’s better Leica see other apps.
A must have!

Bought an iPhone 16 pro to take photos of my newborn, but I could never take good ones. I now use Leica, and it turns you into a professional photog overnight. No editing required - it’s built into the photos themselves. Absolutely recommend
First use
BandAid65
I’m a bit concerned. For a paid app of this calabre I have repeatedly the same issues. The app freezes. Constantly re opening the app is very annoying. Moving between profiles are glitchy. On the other hand the images are of high quality. Unfortunately if these issues don’t get attended to soon I’ll be cancelling my subscription. Ps I’m using a iPhone 16 max pro Don’t think it’s the device. It’s attention to detail in this case.
Added support for iPhone 17e.
