← Drag to compare · real photo developed with the Ilford HP5 Plus look in First Sight
Ilford HP5 Plus is the black-and-white film a generation learned on. It is soft and forgiving in the highlights, rich and deep in the blacks, with a grain that reads as texture rather than noise. Push it or pull it — it holds together either way.
First Sight's HP5 develops that tonal curve and grain live: a gentle contrast, lifted shadows and a frequency-aware grain engine that behaves like real emulsion. Drop a photo, go monochrome, export — all in the browser, all private.
Straight from your phone or desktop. Nothing uploads — it stays on your device.
The look develops live in WebGL — color, grain, contrast and glow, in real time.
