Description

Hydra is a camera app for iPhone & iPad with innovative capture technology that lets you take gorgeous and unique pictures even in challenging lighting conditions. Making use of the latest advances in artificial intelligence & image processing, Hydra’s independent computational core offers to overcome the physical limits of small sensors, with features such as over 20-stop extreme HDR, detail-enhancing denoising, macro shooting, crisp 6/8x zooming, and a whopping 110-megapixel resolution.

But there's more. Hydra now features a new highly capable manual mode for photo enthusiasts, an improved faster shooting for reduced artifacts, and the addition of a new normal capture mode for everyday photos. It also comes with a number of presets to define your own style as well as a completely new high-fidelity photo editor.

Last but not least, Hydra’s constantly evolving photo capabilities are your best asset to continue enjoying picture quality improvements after device purchase and to obtain state-of-the-art camera innovations all through its lifetime.


“The Hydra app […] is one of the more interesting iOS camera apps we have seen in the recent past.”

“The user interface is particularly well made […] If Apple were to purchase this app, they wouldn't have to change anything in its design.”
— Florian Innocente (Mac Génération)

“Hydra […] is a well thought out and terrific performing photo app with solid features that will improve your images in challenging lighting conditions.”
— Mel Martin (Engadget)

Fantastic, just one thing

Wide lens is not available on iPhone 12. One bummer that hopefully will be fixed soon.
