The native import
Tiny thumbnails, no real full screen — no way to judge a photo before importing it.
Coming soon to iPhone
Plug in. Cull. Keep the best.
The full-screen viewer iOS never shipped. Your RAW files stream straight off the SD card, culling takes one gesture — and only the best reaches your camera roll.
One-time purchase · No subscription · 100% on-device
Reads everything iOS can decode
Your iPhone can read the SD card.
It just can’t show it.
The Files app
RAW files render poorly, navigation crawls. A file manager, not a culling tool.
The other apps
Mandatory import first, mandatory subscription. The opposite of fast culling in the field.
So you import everything and sort it out later. The workflow, backwards.

The flagship feature · Premium
The evening cull, done.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Which RAW formats are supported?
Every format iOS decodes natively: CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, DNG, ORF, RW2 and many more. The list comes from the system itself — it grows with every iOS update, no app update needed. An unreadable file is simply flagged, never a crash.
Is my SD card at risk?
Peliculle never adds or alters a file on the card. The only thing that touches it is deleting the photos you reject — the heart of culling. It never happens automatically: always on your gesture, behind a confirmation. And your keepers are copied to the camera roll, not moved — no accidental loss.
Is it a subscription?
No. Essential culling is free forever, and Premium is a one-time purchase, yours for life. A 7-day Premium trial is included at install. And no ads, obviously.
What hardware do I need?
A USB-C iPhone running a recent iOS, and a USB-C SD card reader (USB 3 recommended for speed). That’s it — no laptop, no cloud.
When does it launch?
Soon, on the App Store. Leave your email to be notified at launch — that’s the only message you’ll ever get.
