TL;DR: Luminar Mobile uses AI to edit your photos, and it’s only $20 for life.

Taking great photos is easier than ever, but editing them still feels like it belongs to the pros. Luminar Mobile changes that.

This iOS app brings powerful photo editing tools to your phone or tablet, and you don’t have to take a whole class to understand them (looking at you, Photoshop). Luminar Mobile is also cheaper than many photo editing apps, only $19.99 (reg. $47.99) for a lifetime subscription.

AI can help you edit photos

At its core, Luminar Mobile is built to simplify editing without sacrificing quality. It uses AI to do the heavy lifting, whether you’re swapping out a gray sky for a vibrant sunset or cleaning up blemishes in a portrait. Tools like SkyAI, SkinAI, and EnhanceAI work behind the scenes to adjust tone, color, and lighting automatically. You can still fine-tune things manually, but most edits can be made quickly and easily with a swipe.

Beyond the AI tools, Luminar also gives you full control when you want it. Adjust curves, sharpen details, add filters, or convert your photos to moody black and white. You can crop, rotate, and reframe your shots, or use the Erase tool to clean up distractions in the background. RAW support means you’re not limited to casual photos, either. It’s built for mobile photographers who want pro-level results on the go.

If you’re using an iPhone or iPad, the app feels especially seamless. It supports Apple Pencil for precision edits and is optimized for the latest versions of iOS and iPadOS. It even works with Apple Vision Pro for immersive editing.

This lifetime subscription is a one-time purchase that gives you unlimited access to all of Luminar Mobile’s tools and features. You won’t need to deal with subscriptions or upgrades.

If you’re looking for a way to improve your mobile photos without diving into complicated software, this is a simple, intuitive solution designed to make editing feel more creative and less technical.

For a limited time, it’s only $19.99 to get a Luminar Mobile Lifetime Subscription.
