Everything a camera roll should have been
A camera, a backup and a gallery that work together, on your phone and on the web.
100 GB free backup
Back up every photo and video at full original quality with 100 GB free. Verified uploads, upload while recording, and automatic space saving on your phone.
Pro camera
Manual ISO, shutter speed, white balance and focus, histogram, zebra stripes, focus peaking, RAW (DNG) and 4K HDR video. Only the controls your phone really supports.
Night mode
Clear, low-noise photos in the dark. Lens uses your phone maker’s Night mode when available, or merges several shots itself, at full resolution.
Portrait mode
Blur the background behind people, then change or remove the blur any time in the editor. The original photo is never altered.
Looks & editor
13 looks, live in the viewfinder, plus exposure, highlights, shadows, colour, crop, straighten and more. Every edit can be changed or undone; originals stay untouched.
Use your own storage
Already pay for cloud storage? Send your originals to Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box, any S3-compatible storage or your own NAS (WebDAV), with the Lens camera and gallery on top.
4K video streaming
Long and 4K videos play instantly on any device. Lens makes smooth streaming versions up to the original resolution and picks the best one your connection can carry.
Sharing
Send photos and videos to friends at full quality. They appear in their Shared tab; delete for everyone or only for yourself.
Web app
Open lens.instagrowapp.com, scan the QR code with your phone, and see, upload, download and share your photos from any browser. Everything stays in sync.
