RAW photo editor for iPhone, iPad and Mac
Now your photos have an editor.
Tonalier reads your photo, edits it in a style you choose and shows you every step. Every control stays in your hands.
Every editing tool included.
Characters
Meet the Characters
Photographers who edit your photo for you. A Look gives you a mood; a character fits it to your photo.
Your photo, as you shot it.
Pastel · Airy
Bright, airy and soft, with a touch of pink. Holiday mornings, white walls, light dresses.
Film · Nostalgic
Like a roll of film you forgot in a drawer: warm, soft, a little faded, with real grain. For everyday moments and friends.
Golden · Earthy
Everything in warm afternoon light: honey and earth tones, quiet blues, a calm, sunlit feel.
Cinematic · Travel
Your trip as a film still: deeper tones, cool shadows, warm highlights, color that is quiet but rich.
Street · Dusk
The city after the sun goes down: deep tones, cool shadows, quiet color, and warm lights left glowing.
People · Soft
Puts people first: bright, soft light, gently warm skin, and a backdrop that stays out of the way.
Clean · Natural
Your photo, just tidier: clean whites, true color, crisp detail. Fixes what is off and leaves the rest alone.
New characters arrive with updates.

Editing Included
A real RAW editor.
Every control is yours. Open the RAW file and work on all of it: recover the highlights, set the white balance, shape curves and color. Nothing is baked in, and every step can be undone.
Exposure to blacks, with a live histogram. Swipe across the photo to set a value; it shows at the top, clear of your thumb.
White balance with an eyedropper, vibrance and saturation.
Shape contrast point by point, channel by channel.
Tint shadows, midtones and highlights on their own.

Clean up what distracts.
Tap a spot or paint over a small blemish, and Heal fills it from the photo around it. Change its size, feather and opacity, or find a new source.

Questions, answered.
What does a character do?
It reads your photo’s light and color, then edits it with the same tools you have: exposure, curves, color, masks. Every step is listed, and you can turn any of them off.
Do the characters use generative AI?
No. The editors generate nothing: they adjust light, color and tone with the same tools you have, and every step is listed. Subject and person detection runs on your device.
What’s included, and what’s in Pro?
Without Pro you keep every editing tool, one Look in every series and one Look of your own, and you paste settings and export one photo at a time. Tonalier Pro adds every Look and every character, as many Looks of your own as you like, saved export settings, and tools for several photos at once: share them as a set, paste settings and match exposure. The yearly plan starts with a 7-day trial.
Which files does Tonalier open?
RAW files with these extensions: DNG, CR2, CR3, CRW, NEF, NRW, ARW, SRF, SR2, RAF, ORF, RW2, PEF, SRW, 3FR, FFF, IIQ, ERF, MEF, MOS, X3F, KDC, DCR, MRW, RWL, RAW, CAP. Also JPEG, HEIC, PNG and TIFF. Export to JPEG, HEIC, PNG and 16-bit TIFF.
Which devices does it run on?
iPhone and iPad with iOS or iPadOS 17 or later, and Mac with macOS 14 or later. One purchase covers all three.
Do I need to sign up?
No. There is nothing to sign up for: open Tonalier and start editing. If you subscribe to Pro, the subscription is tied to your Apple Account, so you can restore it on any of your devices.
Where are my photos kept?
On your device, in Tonalier’s own library. Your originals stay as they are, and exporting creates a new file.
How do I cancel Tonalier Pro?
In your App Store subscriptions, at any time. Pro stays on until the end of the period you paid for, and every editing tool stays yours.
