What is AquaPerfect?
AquaPerfect is an underwater photo and video editor designed for iPhone. It helps divers, snorkelers, and action-camera creators correct blue or green color casts, reduce underwater haze, balance water tint, and export cleaner media without a desktop workflow.
Best for: scuba photos, snorkeling photos, iPhone footage, and GoPro media transferred to the iPhone Photos library.
How underwater color correction works
Choose a photo or video
Open underwater media from Photos. You can work with iPhone captures or action-camera files already saved on your phone.
Correct the water cast
Start with a one-tap style, then fine-tune white balance, blue-green tint, haze, tone, and skin-tone preservation.
Compare and export
Check the before-and-after split view, trim video if needed, and save the finished result to Photos.

AquaPerfect FAQ
Does AquaPerfect edit both photos and videos?
Yes. It edits underwater photos and video clips, provides before-and-after comparison, and can trim clips before export.
Can I edit GoPro underwater footage?
Yes. First transfer the GoPro file to Photos on your iPhone, then open it in AquaPerfect to correct color and reduce haze.
Is AquaPerfect free?
AquaPerfect is free to download and has in-app purchases. A one-time AquaPerfect Pro purchase unlocks export for enhanced photos and videos.
Why do underwater photos look blue or green?
Water absorbs warmer wavelengths as depth and distance increase. Correction rebalances the color that remains; it cannot recreate detail the camera never captured.
Does it replace an underwater light or red filter?
No. AquaPerfect improves captured media after the dive. Good lighting, a close subject, and a steady camera still produce the strongest source file.
Who is AquaPerfect for?
It is designed for divers, snorkelers, and action-camera creators who want a faster mobile alternative to manual desktop color grading.
