Frequently asked questions

How do I add a speed effect behind a person?

Choose Linear, set the direction and distance, and pick “Person (AI)” under Keep sharp — the background streaks while the person stays sharp.

What are zoom and spin blur?

Zoom blur streaks everything toward a point, like zooming the lens during the shot; spin blur rotates around a point, for wheels, fans and swirls. Drag the ⊕ handle to place the centre.

Can I edit many photos at once?

Yes — add several photos and the same settings apply to all of them; download each one or all of them as a ZIP.

Which formats can I use?

Open JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC (iPhone), AVIF, BMP, TIFF and more. Save as JPG, PNG, WebP or AVIF with your choice of quality and size; camera information (EXIF) can be kept.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Every effect runs in your browser on your own device — your photos are never uploaded, and the result is rendered at full resolution when you download.
