Apple has worked to make the iPhone a terrific camera, but sometimes you need a decent editing app to turn an average photo into a masterpiece. For a limited time, you can download the awesome Infltr (usually $1.99) for free through the Apple Store app.
Infltr aims to make photo editing easier than ever, with live filters that you can apply before you capture a photo or video, and an infinite number of effects. What’s more, you can also use it to edit Live Photos and animated GIFs with more than ten adjustment and transform tools.
You can edit things like saturation, brightness, contrast, tilt, and temperature, and use tools like rotate, straighten, and flip. There are 17 different crop presets to choose from, and you can save your favorite filters to your collection.
Infltr promises that using its effects won’t degrade the quality of your image, so the finished product will be just as sharp as the original. You can also view the history of your edits if you feel you’ve gone too far, and undo any changes you’ve made.
If you’re an Adobe Creative Cloud user, you can link your account to access your images on the move. Infltr also supports editing from and saving to Dropbox, and is already compatible with the new Apple Files app in iOS 11.
Infltr is normally priced at $1.99, but until August 15, you can download it for free through the Apple Store app on iOS. Simply look for the Infltr banner on the Discover page and tap the Download now for free button.
You’ll be redirected to the App Store, where a redeem code will be generated and you’ll be able to download Infltr for free. Note, however, that if you’re already running iOS 11, this step isn’t working, so you’ll need to download the app on a device with iOS 10 or earlier.

Be sure you read the last paragraph carefully if you’re running the beta!
Guess I should have kept a device on iOS 10 lol
Same boat. Gives me a Redeem your gift card using your iPhone’s camera or you can manually enter code.
What is this discover page?
I checked the apple store and it shows $1.99 for the app. I don’t see anything mentioning that this is free.
Matt, according to the article this app is already compatible with iOS 11… yet you have to still be running iOS 10 in order to get it for free, and the offer is NOT available to those of us running the most current iOS iteration! Makes NO SENSE whatsoever to me…
There doesn’t seem to be a way to download it for free at this time. I am on iOS 10 and it shows up as $1.99
Hi all, it is in the “Apple Store” app (same app that you buy iPhones and iMacs), Not the App Store.
Once you have the Apple Store app, click the discovery button bottom left, and then scroll down to towards the bottom to get the link to the free app store code.
Thank you Starvader!
Ditto! Worked great – thanks!!!
perfect! thanks!!
US only I guess
nope works in uk apple store app
Not the APP STORE where you buy apps https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/43c70f697735ed22bc56f53996e92c0948e174a1975dd08deb8a18bcb042ca2b.jpg https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/482c42709c4829e1a261a916aa9b76ca4c10e1416c82b21810de4d796f14728b.jpg , but the APPLE STORE app. This is the app you use to buy stuff from Apple. This is where the confusion is. Once you open the APPLE STORE app, you are on the discovery tap, just scroll down. One you click on the offer, it will take you to the redeem screen as if you are adding an iTunes card, just redeem it and done!
