How It Works
How Fujifilm recipe matching works
Fujifilm cameras can store useful shooting settings inside a photo file. Fuji Recipe Matcher reads those settings and compares them with known film simulation recipes.
EXIF and MakerNote data
EXIF metadata can include camera model, exposure details, and other image information. Fujifilm MakerNote data can include recipe-relevant settings that are not always visible in basic photo apps.
If a file still contains those settings, the matcher can use them to identify the recipe or film simulation that most closely matches the photo.
Privacy-first analysis
Photo reading happens on your device. The browser extracts metadata locally, builds a preview, and compares the available settings with the recipe library without sending the photo file away for analysis.
Why matches can vary
Some recipes share similar settings, and some files contain only partial metadata. A close match means the available settings are similar, while a possible match means the photo has enough overlap to be worth checking manually.
