Terms of Use

The short version

• Use Fotufilm on devices you own or control, for anything you like, personal or commercial.
• Everything it renders is yours. So is any film pack you fit yourself.
• Follow the separate licences for the engine code and film profiles.
• Film stock names identify what a simulation models. We are not affiliated with any film manufacturer.
• Your images stay on your device. The direct Mac build contacts the licensing service — see the privacy policy.

The rest of this page is the same thing said carefully. Where the two differ, the careful version governs.

Which licence covers your copy

Fotufilm reaches you one of two ways, and each carries its own end-user licence for the software itself.

• From a platform's store. A build you install from the App Store is licensed under that store's standard end-user licence — for Apple, the Licensed Application End User License Agreement.
• Downloaded directly from us. A build you download from MUAStudio Inc. uses Apache-2.0 for the engine, Mac app, and plugins. Film profiles have separate terms on the Fotufilm software and film pack licences.

This page sits alongside whichever of those applies to your copy. It governs your use of this website, and it states the positions — on your images, on the film packs, on trademarks — that hold across every build. Where a store's licence and this page conflict about the software, the store's licence wins for that copy.

What you may do

• Install and use the app on devices you own or control, for any purpose, personal or commercial.
• Use everything it renders — publish it, sell it, license it on. No attribution to us is required and none is expected.
• Author your own film packs with the custom-film tools, keep them, and use them however you want.

Restrictions for store builds

The restrictions below do not limit rights granted by Apache-2.0 or by the film profiles’ CC BY-SA 4.0 licence. Those separate licences control the files they cover. Otherwise, you may not:

• Redistribute, sell, rent, sublicense or host the app or any part of it.
• Reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the app, except so far as applicable law permits it despite this term.
• Remove or alter copyright, trademark or other notices.
• Use the app to develop images you have no right to use, or for anything unlawful.

Your photographs and video

They stay yours. Fotufilm claims no rights in anything you open, develop or save, and it acquires no licence to your work — which follows from how it is built as much as from what we promise: image processing is local and nothing you develop is sent to the licensing service. The privacy policy covers that in full.

The other side of it is yours too: you are responsible for having the right to the images you put through the app, and for what you do with the results.

Film packs

The app reads film stocks as packs rather than compiled-in constants, and two quite different kinds of pack end up in the same list.

Packs you author

A pack you fit yourself is your work and your property. Nothing here claims any interest in it, and nothing restricts what you do with numbers you derived — keep them, share them, sell them.

Packs that ship with the app

The film profiles in the packs bundled with Fotufilm, and in the packs offered for download, are licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0. The profiles and their licence notice are published with the engine source. That licence governs the profiles; application restrictions and termination do not limit it. Using the profiles does not require attribution on rendered photographs or videos.

Included film catalogue

You may use the film profiles for personal and commercial photo and video work, and share or adapt them under the film profile licence. A pack purchase or subscription pays for the packaged download and its updates; it does not change that licence.

The $5 monthly plan renews automatically. Cancel anytime through Manage subscription in your pack account. Updates end with the paid period; downloaded packs keep working offline. The $50 one-time purchase keeps access to the version bought. Earlier buyers keep their original access.

Digital pack sales are final and non-refundable, except where required by law. Earlier purchases retain the access supplied at purchase. Refunding a pack ends its download access. Rights under the Apache-2.0 and CC BY-SA 4.0 licences continue. See the refund FAQ.

Supporting Fotufilm on iPhone and iPad

Fotufilm is free to download and free to use, with no restrictions: every film, tool and export works without paying anything. A free copy shows an Unlicensed tag, and the photos and videos it develops carry a small FOTUFILM watermark.

You can support development in two ways: an auto-renewing subscription or a one-time purchase. Either one removes the Unlicensed tag and lets you switch the watermark off. Neither unlocks features, because none are locked.

• Price. Shown by the App Store at the time of purchase, in your own currency. That listing is the price; this page does not restate it.
• Subscription. Renews automatically at the price and period the App Store shows until you cancel it in Settings, at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancel during a free trial and you are not charged.
• Restoring. Your purchase follows your Apple Account, so it restores on your other devices and on a reinstall. The app has a Restore Purchases control for when it needs asking for directly.
• Family Sharing. The one-time purchase is enabled for Family Sharing, on Apple's terms for it.
• Refunds. Apple sells the purchase and handles refunds under its own policy. Write to us anyway if something is wrong — we would rather fix it.

Films are added to the catalogue as they are calibrated, and they arrive for everyone. Supporting development does not buy a feature, so no future release will move one behind it.

Trademarks and film stock names

"Fotufilm" and "MUA Studio" are marks of MUAStudio Inc. They, their logos and the branding on this site identify official builds, and nothing here grants a licence to use them.

Film stock and manufacturer names in the app and on this site are trademarks of their respective owners, used to identify the material a simulation models and for no other reason. Fotufilm is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by any film manufacturer. No manufacturer logos or trade dress are used, and no manufacturer's own publications are redistributed.

Apple, the Apple logo and App Store are trademarks of Apple Inc., registered in the U.S. and other countries and regions.

Third-party components

The app builds on third-party image-processing and numerical libraries under their own permissive licences. They are listed with those licences in the third-party notices and in the app's acknowledgements screen. Nothing on this page changes their terms.

This website

fotufilm.com runs no analytics. The account and license portal uses the browser storage required for account access — see the privacy policy for details.

Its text, images and sample renders are Copyright © 2026 MUAStudio Inc., and are published for reading, linking and quoting with attribution. Republishing the pages wholesale, or reusing the sample images as your own work, is not covered. Link to us freely; the pages are meant to be linked to.

Apple's part in this

For a build installed from the App Store, these terms are between you and MUAStudio Inc. Apple is not a party to them, is not responsible for the app, and has no obligation to provide support for it — support@fotufilm.com is where support comes from.

Changes

The app changes as it is developed: features are added, and occasionally one is reworked or retired. If we change these terms we will move the date at the top of this page, so that date always tells you which version you are reading. Continuing to use Fotufilm after a change means you accept the revised terms; if you do not, stop using the app.

Warranty

Fotufilm is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. It models photographic film as accurately as we can make it, and we say a good deal on this site about how accurately that is — but none of that is a warranty that any particular result will match any particular real film, or that the app will run without fault on every device.

Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, MUAStudio Inc. is not liable for any claim or damages arising from the app or its use, including lost work or lost images. Keep your originals: the app develops a copy and leaves the source alone, which is the habit that makes this clause academic.

Some jurisdictions do not allow these exclusions, and where they don't, they apply to the fullest extent they can. Nothing here limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, and none of it affects consumer rights you have under the law of the place you live.

Termination

Your licence ends automatically if you breach it. On termination, stop using the app and delete it. The terms that by their nature survive — the film pack restrictions, the trademark position, the warranty disclaimer, the liability limits and the governing law — survive.

Governing law

MUAStudio Inc. is incorporated in Canada and operates from Waterloo, Ontario. These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and a dispute about them is heard in the courts of Ontario sitting in the Regional Municipality of Waterloo.

That is where we are, not a way of putting a dispute out of your reach. Nothing in this section takes away a mandatory consumer protection right, or the right to bring a claim in the courts of the place you live, where the law of that place gives you one. For a build installed from the App Store, the store's own licence governs the software and says where its disputes are heard; this section covers these terms and this website.

The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. The parties have asked that these terms be drawn up in English — les parties ont demandé que ce texte soit rédigé en anglais.
