FAQs

🔧 App Basics

  • Lumica is available on both iOS and Android. We regularly update the app with new features based on feedback from our community.

  • No. All photos must be taken within the Lumica app. You can’t import, preview, edit, or delete them. Once a photo is taken, it’s headed straight to print—no takebacks, no filters, no second guesses.

  • Yes—before you shoot. Lumica offers a real-time viewfinder that displays what you’re capturing with the film profile applied, plus accurate white balance and exposure settings. But once the shutter clicks, that’s it—just like a real 35mm SLR or disposable camera.

  • No photo is truly bad. At Lumica, we believe imperfections are part of the magic—every frame is authentically yours.

🎞️ Virtual Film Rolls

  • When buying a virtual film roll, you can choose from a variety of curated film profiles when shopping in our Film Store—like Lumi Classic 400, CineLumi, or LumiLomo. Each one simulates iconic film stocks.

  • Yes. We’re always working on new looks to inspire your creativity.

  • You can purchase up to 10 virtual rolls at a time. Each one can be renamed and used separately. Unlike disposable cameras, you don’t have to finish one roll before starting another.

  • You’ll be prompted to fill out a short printing form—choose your paper finish, borders, and other preferences, just like at a traditional photo lab.

🖨️ Printing & Shipping

  • You’ll receive high-quality 4x6 prints, developed and printed in a real photo lab—the same kind used for 35mm and disposable cameras.

  • We ship internationally. If you were able to place an order, that means shipping is available to your region.

  • Shipping typically takes up to 10 business days. If your photos haven’t arrived after that, contact us and we’ll make it right.

  • Prints are shipped in a classic, sturdy photo envelope.

  • Yes! You can re-order additional sets of your prints.

🔒 Privacy & Storage

  • Yes, but securely. All photos are saved to your Lumica account on our encrypted cloud. We can’t view your images, but we ensure safe storage and printing.

  • No. Lumica is a fully analog-inspired experience—your photos exist only as physical prints.

🧠 Other Questions

  • No worries. All your shots are safely stored in your Lumica account. You can log into your new phone and pick up where you left off.

  • Always. We’re a small team passionate about analog magic in a digital world. If something goes wrong, we’re here to help. Your satisfaction is everything to us.
