Image Tilt Shift

The tilt-shift effect is a post-processing technique that makes real photographs look like miniature models or dioramas without requiring a special lens. Originally used in architectural photography for perspective correction, deliberately tilting the focal plane creates an extremely shallow depth of field that transforms everyday scenes into toy-like worlds.

This tool offers two focus modes: linear (horizontal band) and circular (radial from center). Linear mode works best with aerial shots of cityscapes and intersections; circular mode suits photos with subjects centered in the frame, such as buildings or people.

Four independent sliders let you fine-tune the effect: focus position, band width, blur strength, and saturation boost. Four quick presets—Balanced, Subtle, Dramatic, and Night Scene—let you transform the mood instantly. The effect shines on photos of stadiums, railways, harbors, and factory night scenes, creating eye-catching images perfect for social media.

All processing happens locally in your browser on the Canvas API; no images are sent to any server, so your private and business photos remain safe. Supports PNG, JPEG, and WebP formats with output in the same format as your original image.
