40+ Curated presets

15 Photographic categories

100% On your Mac, on-device

Private by design

## Nothing touches the internet.

From the moment you open a RAW to the moment you export, RevelRaw works offline. No cloud, no account, no tracking. Your photographs, your edits and your library stay on your Mac, and the only files it reads are the ones you drop in.

*A privacy panel for RevelRaw: nothing sent to the internet, photographs never uploaded, no sign-in, no tracking, internet not needed, and only you see your work*

Presets

## 40+ looks, calibrated for the photograph in front of you.

Curated across 15 categories: landscape, portrait, editorial, cinematic, film emulation, fine-art black & white, street, night, fashion and more. Six at a glance, ranked by scene, the rest a swipe away.

AI scene detection

## The app reads the scene before you do.

Apple's on-device AI recognizes what's in your photograph, whether that's a landscape, a portrait, a city street or a night sky, and sorts the 40+ presets to match. The best fit for your shot appears at the top.

Fine-tune

## Each parameter, dialed in.

Export

## Configured for the platform, not the dialog box.

Format, dimensions, color space and quality preset for Instagram, Flickr, 500px, Adobe Stock, print or web. One click, and your name, license and keywords travel with the file.

AI Denoise

## Keep the detail when the light runs out.

Push the ISO and you trade clean shadows for grain. The neural model runs on your Mac's own chip, never your photos uploaded to a server, clearing luminance and color noise while it keeps the fine texture you shot for. You set the strength; it renders at full resolution, offline.

### What export formats are supported?
