DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME AND MONEY

This app does absolutely nothing but blurring and fading not any Bokeh lens or filters. It’s also very slow. You can blur your photos in any other free app.

FAQ

What does Bokeh Lens do?

Bokeh Lens transforms your iPhone photos into DSLR-quality images by creating a creamy, pleasing bokeh effect. It allows you to make the subject stand out by naturally blurring the background through an easy editing process.

How do I get the best results with Bokeh Lens?

The key to achieving the best results is accurate selection of the foreground area that you want to keep sharp. The app provides an awesome selection tool with a handy loupe (magnifying glass) that appears when you zoom in, helping you to precisely select or deselect areas.

Can I control the amount of background blur?

Yes, you can adjust the bokeh level, which functions like controlling the aperture on a DSLR camera. This allows you to fine-tune how much the background of your photo should be blurred to achieve your desired bokeh effect.

Is Bokeh Lens free to use?

Based on the provided information, Bokeh Lens is a paid application. It does not appear to have in-app purchases or advertisements, suggesting a one-time purchase model for full functionality.

What kind of photos is Bokeh Lens best for?

This app is ideal for creating portrait-style photos where you want the subject to be in sharp focus against a beautifully blurred background. It's perfect for capturing snapshots with a professional, artistic look that mimics the depth-of-field effects of DSLR cameras.
