Microsoft Pix named one of the 50 Best Apps of the Year – Time Magazine
“Microsoft might have just made the best and easiest camera app for the iPhone and iPad.” – Napier Lopez, The Next Web
“I found that Microsoft Pix produces photos that are plain old better in some cases…” – Jordan Novet, VentureBeat
Take better photos without extra effort! Microsoft Pix has serious intelligence behind the lens, so it is a bit like having a pro photographer inside your camera – tweaking settings, selecting the best shots, and enhancing them on the fly – to help people and scenes look their best. It’s designed to help take the guesswork out of getting great photos, so now you can just enjoy the moment, instead of struggling to capture it! Microsoft Pix: Point. Shoot. Perfect.
Top 10 Features
• Smart settings – Automatically checks scene and lighting between each shutter tap, and updates settings between each shot.
• Face recognition – People are the most important photo subjects, so when it detects a face in the shot, it automatically optimizes settings to help people look their best.
• Moment capture - Captures a burst of frames every time you tap the shutter button, including frames before and after your tap, so you won’t miss the right moment.
• Best Image(s) - Automatically selects up to 3 of the best and most unique shots from the burst, and immediately deletes the rest, so you don’t waste your phone’s storage or your time comparing and storing similar frames.
• Image quality – Uses discarded burst frames to enhance each Best Image, improving exposure and color, and reducing noise and blur.
• Live Image – Automatically creates a short, looping video, by stitching together the frames from the burst into a Live Image, but ONLY when it senses motion in your shot, so it won’t waste a ton of your phone’s memory.
• Hyperlapse – Videos shot with Microsoft Pix are automatically stabilized for smoother playback, and can be time lapsed and saved at many different speeds.
• Auto-sync - Seamlessly syncs to your camera roll, so you don't have to individually import or save your photos and videos to your camera roll.
• Easy sharing - Uses iOS sharing, so you can seamlessly share to the apps already installed on your phone.
• Widgets and 3D Touch – Where available, 3D touch and Today and Lock screen widgets are enabled, so you can jump directly into photo capture, selfie capture, video capture or gallery.

Customer Reviews
Get this. Install it. Bet you don't delete it.
This is so good I just asked two friends for their phones and to put their finger on the button when necessary. Then I asked them to snap some pictures and see what they think. They loved it! And so do I. This app creates better pictures out of what you snap. Faces come out perfect. Acne and red-eye are gone. It can be subtle: this does not add gimmicks to your photos. It improves the lighting, the faces, the shadows and the composition by blending together the best of several milliseconds of exposure. Faces, food, pets and open scenery benefit the most. On my phone I set it to be the default camera. So ... install it - and I bet you keep on using.
It's been six months, and the only photos I take with the built-in app are panoramas. For faces, social activities, landscapes and action shots (reduces blur) this app is tops.
Really impressive!
Its sometimes difficult to describe to people how impressive this camera app is at taking pictures. I almost removed the Apple camera app were it not for the panorama mode.
Apple's camera app really over processes the image. Shots can look quite terrible. Its noticeable especially when zooming in on a captured picture a little bit. I've been fortunate to have used a Lumia 950XL which I miss as a daily driver. I still carry it with me for capturing very valuable footage. The 950XL is still a superior picture taker compared to the iPhone 6s Plus that I'm using / iPhone 7 Plus.
Anyway, the work you have done on this app is very much appreciated and I thank you.
Any plans to add a 16:9 mode and Panorama? Like the Lumia 950, not cropping off the top and bottom like other camera apps. Great work!!
Well...
I was really happy with the app especially since it had this one feature that would balance out everything and do all the editing for you BUT I was editing these photos and they were perfect and it said modify the original photos and it usually works so I was like okay but then I went to back to the photos to send them to my friend and they weren't there. So I'm a tad bit annoyed at this point and go back. I go through the same process except the app doesn't do it and I dont know how to fix it. It was really inconvenient and I still dont know how to fix it
