Show HN: Photonica – Film looks for your photos, processed locally with WebGPU

https://photonica.studio/app/
1•topvlad•1h ago
Photonica is a browser editor that processes your photos without server uploading or registration.

I'm Vlad, an engineering lead and a hobby mobile photographer. I like film aesthetics but don't like carrying a film camera with me. It all started with film emulation experiments on the server with heavy processing and evolved into a more convenient web app. I want to help everyone (including myself) to quickly get a film look, because I think each photo has its own vibe, so one preset just can't fit them all.

The app can apply baked LUTs from spectral film models (spektrafilm by Andrea Volpato and Spectral Film LUT by Jan Lohse) and gives you a variety of tools for making artistic photos. I added tools to work with halation, diffusion, grain, a print stage with paper exposure, and Space - a two-pad color grade.

Free version gives you: set of films on all nine print papers, 3 exports a day without an account (unlimited with a free account). Pro is $2.99/month, $19.99/year or $49 once: more films, optics and light effects, collages with instagram carousel slides, original-resolution export. All spektrafilm LUTs are free.

There's only a web version (no native apps), but you can install it as a PWA (to use it on your phones). The only requirement is WebGPU support (JPEG/HEIC, no RAW support yet).

I hope this tool will help you too to make more beautiful images. I would appreciate any feedback about how the app works on your device and whether it's easy to get film look from "phone photos".
