This fisheye effect generator turns any photo into the round, bulging frame of an ultra wide-angle lens. Load a picture and the effect is applied instantly: the whole image is pulled into a circle, the center swells toward the viewer and the edges wrap away, exactly the look of a peephole, an action camera or a 90s skate video. Three sliders shape the result in real time, and the download comes out at the original resolution with everything outside the circle transparent, ready to drop onto any background.
The intensity slider controls how strongly the picture bulges. Low values give a subtle wide-angle curve, the middle of the range is the classic fisheye lens effect, and the top end pushes into full sphere territory where straight lines bend into arcs. Like a real lens, the distortion lives at the edges: the center of your photo keeps its exact scale no matter how far you push the slider. The zoom slider magnifies from the center, from the whole frame curled inside the lens to a tight center crop. The lens look slider adds the glass itself: illumination falloff that darkens toward the rim, a soft halo tracing the circle and a dreamy soft-focus glow, so the result reads as a photo taken through a real fisheye. All three preview live while you drag, with a sharp full-quality pass the moment you let go.
The output is the circular lens image itself, not a circle stamped on a black rectangle. Downloaded as PNG or WebP, everything outside the circle is transparent with a smoothly feathered rim, so the fisheye drops cleanly onto posters, thumbnails, album art, stream overlays and stickers. Choose JPG when you want the traditional look instead, and the surroundings become solid black automatically since JPG has no transparency. Either way the effect is rendered at your photo's full resolution, never from the on-screen preview.
The fisheye filter has a personality: skate and BMX culture built its visual language around it, album covers and music videos use it for in-your-face portraits, and meme culture rediscovered it for the exaggerated close-up. It also reads as a security peephole or door viewer for storytelling shots, gives pet portraits their comically oversized noses, and turns cityscapes into tiny curved worlds. Because the effect is applied to an ordinary photo after the fact, you can hunt for the frame that works without owning the lens.
The re-projection runs entirely in your browser: a true equidistant lens mapping, reverse-mapped with bilinear sampling the way a raster editor would do it, so the preview stays smooth even on large phone photos. Nothing is uploaded: the picture is read locally, warped on your device and saved straight back to it. Private photos and unpublished work never leave your machine, and there is no signup, watermark or file limit.
Open the photo and the effect is applied immediately with sensible defaults. Drag the intensity slider to set how strongly the image bulges and the zoom slider to choose how much of the picture fits inside the circle, then download. The result renders at the original resolution.
Intensity bends the image: low values curve it gently like a wide-angle lens, high values wrap it into a sphere, and as on a real lens only the edges distort while the center keeps its scale. Zoom magnifies from the center, from the whole frame curled inside the lens to a tight center crop. Lens look adds the glass character: vignette shading toward the rim, a soft halo ring tracing the circle and a dreamy soft-focus glow.
Yes, that is the default. PNG and WebP downloads keep everything outside the circle transparent with a soft edge, so the lens drops cleanly onto any design. JPG cannot store transparency, so there the outside becomes black automatically.
Yes, the geometry is the real thing. Your photo is treated as the flat rectilinear projection it actually is and re-projected through a true equidistant fisheye mapping, r = f·θ, the projection real fisheye lenses are built around, with the intensity slider setting the virtual lens's field of view. The one thing no software can add is scene content beyond your photo's original frame; a physical 180° lens simply sees more of the world.
No. The image is opened and warped entirely in your browser, and the result is saved from your device. Nothing is transmitted to any server, so private photos stay on your machine.
