## What is Enhance?

Enhance turns a photo into an animated zoom GIF.

Pick a photo. Pinch to frame the spot you want. Tap Enhance. In seconds you get a GIF that zooms from the whole picture into that spot.

It is the old "zoom in and enhance" joke, made with your own photos. Use it for reactions, reveals, and "wait, look closer" moments.

ZOOM IN OR ZOOM OUT
• Zoom in: start wide and push into the detail.
• Zoom out: start on the detail and pull back for the reveal.
• Choose the direction, then tap Enhance.

WHAT YOU GET
• Pinch and drag to frame any part of your photo.
• One big Enhance button builds the GIF.
• Reset puts the view back to the full photo.
• Choppy zoom gives a frame-by-frame look.
• Smoother color, with less banding.
• Save to Photos or share to Messages, AirDrop and more from the share sheet.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Your photos are processed on your device.
• Nothing is uploaded.
• No account. No ads for other apps.

FREE TO USE
Enhance is free. GIFs made with the free version carry a small Enhance mark in the corner. Shared GIFs can include a short App Store note.

One in-app purchase removes the watermark and the promo text. It also unlocks Keep original aspect ratio, so portrait and landscape photos are not cropped to a square. Restore Purchase is in Settings.

Good for:
• Reaction GIFs
• Funny details in the background of a photo
• Slow reveals for the group chat
• Pet photos, family photos, and screenshots with a punchline
