Batch-edit a whole roll of film on iPhone
Last updated 2 June 2026
When you scan a roll of film, the frames usually need the same correction, and editing them one by one is slow. EditMe can batch-edit a whole roll: select your scans, set the look once, and apply it to every frame in a single pass, all on the device. It is part of the free core editor, no subscription needed.
Why a roll wants one look
Frames from the same roll share the same film stock, the same development, and often the same light, so they want the same inversion and grade. Doing that frame by frame repeats identical work dozens of times. Applying one recipe across the whole selection keeps the roll consistent and saves the tedium.
How EditMe batch edits
In EditMe, select multiple negatives or photos, edit one as your reference, then apply that recipe to the rest in a single pass. Each frame keeps its own original, the work runs on the device with no upload, and you can still fine-tune any single frame afterward. Batch editing a roll is part of the free core editor; no EditMe Pro subscription is required. EditMe Pro adds the darkroom, the full film-look collection, the tone curve and local corrections, saving custom presets, and 16-bit export.

Frequently asked questions
Can I edit a whole roll of film at once on iPhone?
Yes. EditMe can apply one recipe across every selected scan in a single pass, so a roll comes out consistent without editing each frame by hand.
Does batch editing change my originals?
No. Each frame keeps its original, and you can fine-tune any single frame after the batch pass. Nothing is uploaded; it all runs on the device.
Is batch editing free?
Yes. The core editor, film inversion, and batch-editing a whole roll are all free. EditMe Pro is an optional subscription for the darkroom tools, the full film-look collection, more editor depth, saving custom presets, and 16-bit export.
Does it work offline?
Yes. EditMe runs entirely on the device with no cloud and no account, so batch editing works offline.
