Ruban
Seamless carousels · Film simulations · RAW
Ruban lays your photos on one long canvas cut into perfectly aligned slides, from a blank page or a template, and develops them with physically based film simulations: negative stocks, print papers, grain and halation. Shooting RAW? Ruban reads Apple ProRAW and DNG.
7-day free trial with everything unlocked, then a single 9.99 € purchase. No subscription.
Compose on an endless horizontal canvas cut into slides: a photo can span two or three slides, and the seams line up perfectly when people swipe.
Pick a template, drop your photos into its zones and your post is ready. The catalogue brings together Ruban's templates and the community's, by theme and by format.
Instead of stacking filters, Ruban simulates the whole analog chain, from the negative to the print.
All it takes to finish a picture, without leaving the app.
With Ruban Pro, import Apple ProRAW and DNG files and develop them with all the latitude of the raw data.
During the trial and with Ruban Pro, your projects, templates, photos, recipes and LUTs are synced with your account, on Android, iPhone, iPad and Mac.
Try everything for 7 days. Keep the basics for free, or unlock Ruban for good with one purchase.
