Who we are

Lenscript is an independent developer team. We make tools for people who take photography seriously, on a camera or a phone, and would rather not install a pile of unrelated apps to do it.

Most of them work on your photos right on your own device, and most are free to start.

Six tools, one job each

All products

01Before you go

  • LCT

    37,000 shooting locations across China, each with its best time of day and how to get there. You can also see where other people stood at the same spot, and what settings they used.

02In the field

  • Zlens

    Once the camera is set up, you don't have to stand next to it. Watch the live view on your phone, change settings, fire the shutter, and the RAW files come straight back to you.

    Coming soon, Android first

  • paida

    When a friend takes your picture, pick a reference photo first. They see an outline and a one-line cue in the viewfinder, and the shutter fires when the pose lines up.

Photography guides

Written in Chinese and English. They start with exposure and go as far as what to check before you post a photo.

If you are just starting, read these three

  1. The exposure triangle: aperture, shutter speed and ISOWhat each corner costs, how to work out EV, and four ways to get the same exposure.
  2. Safe shutter speed: how slow can you hand-hold?Is 1/50s safe on a 50mm? The reciprocal rule, a table by focal length, and what stabilisation buys.
  3. Angle of view and equivalent focal lengthHow many degrees is a 50mm? A 14–200mm angle-of-view table, plus the crop-factor maths.
