Turn the world into ink, neon, static, or pixels. Point your camera, swipe through effects, add a mirror, and save what catches your eye.
Free, with every effect included. Requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later.
The looks
Swipe across the camera view to explore comic-book ink, pencil sketches, arcade pixels, worn-out VHS, and colors that flow like oil on water. Effects render live on your device, so your saved image matches the preview.
Symmetry
Mirror the frame left to right, top to bottom, or both. Switch on Scope for a slowly turning kaleidoscope. Combine symmetry with any effect and add Warp for a stretching, breathing image. Turn a face into a mask or a bookshelf into a cathedral.
Photo library
Every effect works on pictures you already have. Import a photo from your library and swipe through effects just as you would with the live camera, then save the one you like.
Always moving
The effects keep moving. Ghost sends two faint copies of the frame drifting apart like a mistuned TV. Possessed finds your face and makes your eyes swell and glow. Record video, with sound or without, and the motion comes with it.
macOS
Bring the same effects and symmetry modes to your Mac’s camera. Download the Mac app from the same free App Store listing.
