Spot-meter any scene, get instant ND filter and shutter-angle recommendations, compare lighting ratios, and preview false color exposure — no app to install, nothing uploaded. Luxmetry is in final testing now.
Everything a cinematographer or photographer needs to check exposure before rolling — built around how your phone's camera already sees the scene.
Meter the scene, enter your ISO, aperture, frame rate, and shutter angle, and get the nearest standard ND filter recommendation in seconds.
Set your target shutter angle for natural motion blur on pans, and Luxmetry works out the exact shutter speed and ND stop needed to hit it.
A live cine-style false color overlay flags crushed blacks, clipped highlights, and skin-tone reference zones directly on your camera feed.
Tap up to four points in frame and Luxmetry calculates the stop difference and ratio between them — key-to-fill, key-to-background, and more.
Upload one photo shot with known ISO, aperture, and shutter, and Luxmetry calibrates itself to output accurate EV100 and lux from then on.
Metering, false color, and calibration all run locally in your browser using the camera and canvas APIs — no account, no upload, no tracking.
Works in Safari on iOS and Chrome on Android — no install, no app store.
Luxmetry spot-meters that point and shows an EV and lux readout instantly.
ISO, aperture, frame rate, and shutter angle — Luxmetry compares your target shutter speed to what the light actually needs.
Switch to false color or ratio mode to double-check exposure and lighting balance before you roll.
Yes. Luxmetry reads brightness directly from your phone's camera feed and converts it into an exposure value. Because browsers don't expose a phone's real ISO, shutter, and aperture data, readings start out relative — you can calibrate them into accurate EV and lux values by uploading one reference photo shot with known settings.
Enter your ISO, aperture, frame rate, and target shutter angle. Luxmetry meters the scene, works out the shutter speed needed for a correct exposure, compares it to the shutter speed your shutter angle requires, and recommends the closest standard ND filter to close the gap.
Shutter angle is the cinema equivalent of shutter speed, expressed relative to frame rate — a 180-degree angle gives the natural motion blur audiences expect. Because it ties shutter speed to frame rate rather than to the light in the scene, an ND filter is usually the only way to keep both correct exposure and a 180-degree angle in bright conditions.
Yes, the meter, ND calculator, false color tool, ratio comparison, and calibration are all free and run entirely in your browser.
No. All metering and calibration happens on-device using your browser's camera and canvas APIs. Nothing is uploaded to a server.
