A Lightroom alternative for your whole library.
Lightroom edits the photos you pick. EditAll puts one look on your whole library.
Lightroom is a complete editing system, with masks, profiles, and a desktop catalog. EditAll does a different job: choose a film look once and every photo in your library already has it, then save or share the ones you want. Your Lightroom presets can come with you.
Already edited when you open it.
Take a trip's worth of photos. In EditAll every one of them is already in your look, so there is nothing left to edit, only to choose and share. In Lightroom, each photo is edited before it can be shared.
Steps for a typical set of photos, not a timed benchmark.

Which one is for you?
Lightroom is excellent software, and it does far more than EditAll for retouching one photo.
Use Lightroom if
- You need masks, healing, lens corrections, or Adobe camera profiles.
- You also edit on a computer and want one catalog on every device.
- You already pay for Creative Cloud.
- You finish every photo by hand, one at a time.
Use EditAll if
- You want your whole phone library in one look without editing photo by photo.
- You would rather pay once than subscribe.
- You do not want another account, or a cloud copy of your library.
- You want Memories, People, and your look in the camera, not only an editor.

Questions
Is EditAll a good Lightroom alternative?
For browsing and sharing your phone library in a consistent film look, yes. For detailed retouching, masks, and a desktop catalog, Lightroom does more. Plenty of photographers use both.
Is there a free Lightroom alternative for iPhone?
EditAll is free to download and use: every built-in look, every editing control, and three saved or shared photos a day. Pro removes the limits for $25 once. If you want a free editor for one photo at a time instead, Snapseed is free.
Is there a Lightroom alternative without a subscription?
Yes. EditAll Pro Lifetime is $25, paid once. Monthly and yearly plans are there too if you prefer them.
Can I use my Lightroom presets in EditAll?
Yes. Convert XMP or lrtemplate develop presets on the web or in the app. Exposure, HSL, curves, split toning, grain, and more carry over. AI masks, crops, camera profiles, and lens corrections stay in Lightroom.
Do I need an Adobe or EditAll account?
Not for EditAll. It works with your Apple Photos library and has no account of its own. Lightroom needs an Adobe account.

EditAll is free to use. EditAll Pro costs $3 a month, $30 a year, or $25 once on the US App Store. Lightroom Mobile Premium is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year there.
