Colorby alternative for iPhone and Android
Duper is a Colorby alternative that copies a look straight from the post you found. Share an Instagram post, Reel or Pin, or pick a screenshot, and Duper matches its colour, light and grain to each of your photos and videos. It runs on iPhone and Android, and Super Duper costs $39.99 a year.

Questions
Is Duper a good Colorby alternative?
Yes, if you want to copy the look of a post you found, on iPhone or Android. Both apps match a reference photo's look to yours. Duper also takes the look straight from a shared Instagram or Pinterest link and gives it to you as a Lightroom preset and a Fujifilm recipe. Colorby has more manual grading tools and a library of looks to browse.
Is Colorby on Android?
Not as of November 2026. Colorby is on the App Store for iPhone and iPad, and we found no Google Play listing. Duper is on both, with everything but the live camera on Android.
How much does Colorby cost?
Colorby is free to download. Its App Store listing shows Pro at $4.99 to $9.99 a month, $19.99 to $39.99 a year, or $49.99 once, depending on the offer. Duper is free with 3 saves a week, and Super Duper costs $39.99 a year, $9.99 a month or $79.99 once.
Can I paste an Instagram link into Duper?
Yes. Share a public post, Reel or Pin to Duper, or copy its link and paste it. Duper fetches the photo or video and reads its look. Posts from private accounts cannot be read, so use a screenshot of those instead.
Can I take the look into Lightroom?
Yes. With Super Duper, any look you copy saves as a Lightroom preset, an .xmp file for desktop and a .dng file for the free Lightroom mobile app, along with a Fujifilm recipe.
Does Duper upload my photos?
No. Duper matches the look on your phone, and the photos and videos you edit stay there. Duper needs no account and no sign up.
