Analog darkroom and film maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the three corrections that bite when you develop film and make prints by hand. The reciprocity endpoint corrects long exposures for reciprocity failure, where film loses sensitivity past about a second: corrected time = metered^p (Schwarzschild p ≈ 1.3 for many films, settable per datasheet), so a metered 10-second exposure really wants about 20 seconds, a full stop more, while anything under the threshold is left untouched. The printexposure endpoint adjusts enlarger exposure when you change print size — light spreads as you raise the head, so exposure is proportional to (magnification + 1)², where magnification is print size ÷ negative size: going from 2× to 4× magnification turns a 10-second exposure into 27.8 seconds, about 1.5 stops, ready for f-stop printing. The pushpull endpoint scales development time for pushing or pulling film by N stops — time = base × factor^stops, roughly +40 % per stop pushed — turning a 7-minute base into 13.7 minutes at +2 stops, or 5 minutes pulled a stop. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for film-photography and darkroom apps, light-meter and timer companions, lab and workshop tools, and analog-photography sites. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints. For digital depth-of-field use a photography API; for lab molarity use a dilution API.

Camera and optics maths as an API. The depth-of-field endpoint computes the near and far limits of sharp focus, the total depth of field and the hyperfocal distance from a focal length, aperture and focus distance, using the circle of confusion for your sensor format — full-frame, APS-C, Micro Four Thirds, 1-inch, medium format, Super 35 and more, or your own value. The field-of-view endpoint gives the horizontal, vertical and diagonal angle of view for a focal length on a given sensor, plus the crop factor and the 35 mm-equivalent focal length. The exposure endpoint computes the exposure value (EV) from aperture, shutter speed and ISO, and can also solve for the shutter speed or aperture that hits a target EV. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for photography and videography apps, camera and lens tools, focus-stacking and landscape planning, and teaching exposure and optics. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Live, nothing stored. 4 endpoints. This computes camera optics; for reading EXIF metadata from photo files use an EXIF API.

Extract the hidden metadata baked into a photo. Pass an image URL (we fetch it) or a base64 image and get back its EXIF, GPS, IPTC and XMP data: the camera make and model, lens, software, the capture date/time, full exposure settings (shutter speed, aperture / f-number, ISO, focal length, flash, metering and white balance), orientation, colour space and resolution, plus the GPS location (latitude, longitude, altitude) with a ready Google Maps link — and the complete raw tag map. A dedicated /v1/gps endpoint returns just the geotag. Supports JPEG, TIFF, HEIC and PNG. Parsing runs locally (no third-party service) and nothing is stored. Live. 3 endpoints. Built for photo-management apps, geotagging, digital forensics, copyright/credit checks and image pipelines. Distinct from a basic image-info or resize service. No upstream key.
