I’m a software developer and an amateur photographer. Last year I bought a Fujifilm X-T5 and started shooting SOOC JPEGs, but I’ve always found it difficult to understand what settings other people use or to edit photos quickly while traveling.
So, in my free time, I decided to build something that could be useful both for me and others.
That’s how I created photo.recipes
— a collection of small, fast, browser-based tools designed to help photographers analyze and tweak their images on the go. It’s completely free to use, with no ads or tracking — I built it simply because I wanted it to exist.
Some of the tools:
Analyzer – extracts EXIF data and shows the in-camera settings used, so you can replicate them.
Presets – finds the most similar Fujifilm film simulation for a given photo.
I’ve shared it with a few photographer friends and got great feedback, so I wanted to share it here too. I built the first version in about a month and I’m adding new features weekly — like a growing database of lenses or the PWA.
Would love to hear your feedback, ideas, or critiques — especially from people who care about both photography and tools that “just work.”

https://photo.recipes/recipes – apply film recipes directly to your images.
https://photo.recipes/frame – add clean frames before sharing online.
https://photo.recipes/tags – suggests relevant hashtags for social media.
I also made a PWA at https://pwa.photo.recipes so it's easier to use on the phone.
