Light bounces
A bright source like the sun enters the lens, reflects off the sensor, hits the back of a lens element and lands on the sensor a second time as a faint copy of itself.
Free for iPhone · iOS 26
Shoot into the sun. Lose the green ghost
That small green dot that shows up when you photograph a sunset, a stage light or a bright window is a reflection bouncing around inside your lens. GhostFix finds it and paints it out. On your phone, in one tap.

Why there's a green dot in your sunset
It isn't dirt on the lens and it isn't a sensor fault. It's physics, and every phone camera does it.
It lands opposite the light
The copy is mirrored through the centre of the frame, which is why the dot sits on the far side of the picture from the sun, usually right where you didn't want it.
It comes out green
Lens coatings cancel most of that stray light, but the green and cyan part of the spectrum slips through. Hence the colour, and hence the name.
Three taps, one clean photo
No brushes, no layers, no sliders to learn. Pick the photo, zap it, keep it.
1
Pick a photo
Choose any photo from your library. The app only ever sees the photos you hand it.
2
Zap it
A detector trained on thousands of ghosts finds the dot. A second model rebuilds the pixels underneath it from the surrounding scene.

Peek, then keep
Press and hold to compare with the original. Happy? Save it to Photos as a new image. Your original is never touched.
Missed one? Tap the hand icon, then tap the ghost yourself. The app builds the repair from your tap, so even an unusual ghost gets fixed.

Questions, answered
- Does it work on every photo?
- It's built for the small green or cyan dot that a bright light source leaves behind. Big rainbow flares, haze and starbursts are out of scope for now.
- What if it misses, or picks the wrong spot?
- Tap the hand icon, then tap the ghost. The app rebuilds the mask around your tap and repairs from there. You can reset and try again as often as you like.
- Does it change the rest of my photo?
- No. Only the area under the ghost is repainted. The rest of the frame is left alone, and the repaired photo is saved as a new image next to your original.
- Which devices does it run on?
- iPhone 15 Pro or later, running iOS 26 or later.
- Is it really free?
- Yes. No ads, no subscription, no in-app purchases.
- Where do my photos go?
- Nowhere. Both models run on your device. The only network traffic is Apple delivering an occasional model update to the app. See the privacy policy.
