Luxa RAW Camera, an iPhone camera app built around RAW and ProRAW capture, is free on the App Store for a limited time. Tech site 流動日報 New Mobile Life reports that the app normally costs US $0.99. The Canadian App Store listing also shows it as Free at the time of writing. None of the sources we read states when the offer ends.

What the app does

According to its App Store listing, Luxa aims to produce iPhone photos with less processing, meaning less sharpening and more natural texture. The developer says this approach is meant to preserve the look of skin, hair, fabric, foliage and architecture.

The listing names these features:

  • RAW and ProRAW capture on supported devices
  • 48MP capture
  • Manual control of ISO and shutter speed, with focus also mentioned in the listing summary
  • A Processed mode for fast HEIF photos that uses Apple’s image processing
  • Photography Styles for subtle looks
  • Photo watermarks that can show capture information

Platforms and price

Luxa is listed for iPhone only. The Canadian listing says it requires iOS 26.0 or later, and the app supports nine languages including English, French and Spanish. It sits in the Photo & Video category. The developer is shown as 照 陈, and the copyright line reads Zhao Chen.

The regular price given by New Mobile Life is US $0.99. Canadian pricing for the paid version is not stated in the sources, so the only Canadian figure we can report is that the listing currently reads Free. The listing text we read does not mention subscriptions or in-app purchases.

How to get it

  1. On an iPhone, open the official App Store listing for Luxa RAW Camera, or search for the name in the App Store app.
  2. Check that the button says Get rather than a price. If it shows a price, the offer has ended.
  3. Tap Get and confirm with your Apple Account.

Since no end date is given, the price could change at any time.

What it means for readers

The saving is small, US $0.99, but the app is aimed at people who want RAW capture without a heavy workflow. Who it suits: iPhone owners who like to choose their own ISO and shutter speed, or who want a camera app that leaves less sharpening on the image.

What to check before downloading:

  • Your iPhone must run iOS 26.0 or later, and RAW and ProRAW are offered on supported devices only.
  • The app is new and, per its listing, has not yet received enough ratings or reviews to show an overview.
  • The developer says in its privacy section that analytics, identifiers and usage data may be collected but are not linked to your identity. Apple notes that this information has not been verified by Apple.
