Choose a photo, pick a horizontal or vertical band, then set its position, width and blur amount and download the PNG.
No. The blur and the band are calculated on a local canvas, so your photo never leaves your own device.
Pixels outside the sharp band are blended with a blurred copy of the image, and the blend fades gradually across the falloff zone.
The miniature look comes from a narrow sharp band with strong blur above and below, which mimics a macro lens with a shallow depth.
Use a vertical band to keep a tall subject sharp, such as a tower or a standing person, and a horizontal band for landscapes.
The position slider moves the sharp band up and down or left and right, and the width slider sets how much stays in focus.
The blur is a fast sliding box average, so even large photos preview quickly without a long wait on your device.
