Canon DPP Express for iPhone

Advanced RAW Editing on iPhone and iPad

Canon Digital Photo Professional Express (DPP Express) is a capable photo-editing app for iPhone and iPad that focuses on RAW image work. It provides touch-driven controls for color and tonal adjustments and can export edited images to JPEG. The app is built to be convenient for photographers who want desktop-style RAW editing while mobile.

Principal editing tools

• A built-in edit history lets you step backward and fine-tune each change.
• Save multiple adjustment presets so you can apply or compare different looks quickly.
• Precise RAW manipulation (including exposure, white balance and color tweaks) via intuitive touch gestures.

Supported file types

• JPEG
• HEIF (10‑bit)
• RAW formats such as CR3 and CR2

Subscription features

• Export images without added watermarks for finished output.
• Unlock the ability to save and reuse custom adjustment patterns.

Compatibility notes and known limitations

DPP Express works best on modern iPhones and iPads, especially those with high-end displays like Super Retina XDR and Liquid Retina XDR, where color and contrast reproduction benefit editing accuracy. Users should be aware of some constraints — for example, RAW burst sequences captured on other smart devices may not import directly into the app.

Suggested alternative

Made — Story Editor & Collage (Free) is a commonly suggested substitute for users who want an easy collage and story-building tool alongside simpler photo edits.
