Mattebox is an image editing app focused on quality and speed. Edit RAW photos with pro-level processing modeled on analog film, and use beautiful filters that you can customize. Subscribe to Mattebox Pro to export filters to Lightroom, use Curves and more.
Congrats on the launch! The photo effects shown in the video look really great. Can this app be installed or used on Android? I’d like to have a try :)
Hi everyone! I originally launched Mattebox in 2011. Now, after taking a quick 10 year break (🤯), I'm back with a new version!
🌰 Mattebox in a nutshell:
Mattebox is a zero-AI photo & video editing app focused on doing "less, but better." It's designed to make your images look amazing with minimal effort.
✔︎ Removes the "over-processed" look to give you a more natural photographic image
✔︎ Custom image processing core modeled on the way analog film responds to light
✔︎ Mattebox Pro gives you advanced controls like Curves and Pro Diffusion
✔︎ Create, share & export filters easily
📸 Who Mattebox is for:
Someone who has shot with a DSLR or used a tool like Adobe Lightroom in the past, but wants something faster and lighter-weight for iPhone snaps. ~OR~ someone who is leveling up their photography/videography for the first time.
🏆 Key differentiators:
Even though the photo & video app market is beyond saturated, Mattebox has some differentiators:
➔ Image quality: I couldn't find another editing app that handled RAW files to my taste.
➔ No-install filter sharing: Share a filter as an App Clip using a link/QR code—no install required.
➔ Export filters to LUTs or Lightroom: Use your filters in Lightroom, Photoshop, FCP, Premiere, Resolve—or virtually any photo/video app.
🍿 Rebooting the franchise: My story!
This is less of a new version, and more of a complete reboot of the franchise. I rewrote the app from scratch during COVID lockdown, and have been using it and iterating it for years. Now it's time for my family photo app to leave the nest. It's honestly amazing to see what kind of image quality you can achieve with ProRAW files on iPhone Pro models once you remove all the over-processing.
🙏 Thank you!
I’d love your feedback on anything from the app to the marketing. I’ve been out of the game for a long time, and I know I’ve got a lot to learn and catch up on. Thanks for checking out Mattebox!
