Directional stretch
Drag the image into a long exposure style smear with adjustable stretch strength and angle.
Creative iPhone Photo Editor
Vanishing Frame
Create dramatic directional blur, motion-smear portraits, and graphic vanishing-frame images from photos in your library. Tune the guide, preserve a readable subject area, choose black-and-white or color, then save a full-resolution result.
No account. No tracking. On-device photo processing.
Shape the blur
Stretch a photo into motion.
Vanishing Frame is built for one focused workflow: pick a photo, place the guide, adjust the blur, and export a polished image.
Protected subject
Use the draggable guide to keep part of the image readable while the rest vanishes into blur.
BW or color
Choose a high-contrast black-and-white look or keep the color information in the altered image.
Fade and falloff
Control where the blur starts and how gradually it takes over from the original photo.
Finish controls
Dial in blur, contrast, noise, and vignette from the bottom control ribbon.
Full-resolution export
Preview quickly, then render the final result from the original full-size photo when saving or sharing.
