Turn your camera into a creative playground. Glint gives you 5 free real-time effects that transform people or backgrounds - live on screen, before you even hit record. No editing. No waiting. Just open the app and watch the magic happen. EFFECTS THAT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE Glint uses advanced person detection to separate you from your background in real time. Apply effects to just yourself, or just the world around you. Switch between modes with a single tap. 20 CREATIVE EFFECTS Overlays -- Static, Graph, Check, Matrix, and Cosmic wrap you (or your background) in eye-catching patterns and textures. Distortions -- Blur softens everything beautifully. Pixel creates a bold mosaic. Hexagon adds honeycomb geometry. Wild shatters the image into crystal facets. Color Shifts -- Bright blows out the exposure. Spooky inverts all colors for a negative-film look. Sepia and Noir bring vintage warmth and classic black-and-white. Moody and Cute add retro film tones. Rosy washes everything in pink. Comic turns the world into a hand-drawn ink illustration. Adjustments -- Saturate makes colors pop. Contrast punches up detail. Dull gives you that soft, faded film aesthetic. YOUR BACKGROUND, YOUR RULES Go beyond filters. Use Image Green Screen to place yourself in front of any photo from your camera roll. Use Tint Green Screen to stand against any solid color. Transform Image lets you apply any Glint effect to photos you have already taken. REAL EFFECTS, NOT AI GENERATION Every effect runs live on your device at up to 60 frames per second. There is no cloud processing, no upload queue, no "generating your image" spinner. What you see on screen is what you get -- instantly. Your photos and videos never leave your phone. RECORD, CAPTURE, SHARE Record video with effects applied in real time. Capture single photos mid-session and share them directly to TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, or anywhere else. Auto-save keeps recordings in your photo library so you never lose a moment. MADE FOR CONTENT CREATORS TikTok creators, this one's for you. No waiting for effects to render. No jumping between apps. Record videos with real-time effects that make your content stand out instantly. The person segmentation means you stay crisp while your background transforms—perfect for green screen-style effects without the green screen. MAKE IT YOURS Choose from 6 custom app icons. Toggle audio recording, and front or rear camera defaults. Open the settings sheet halfway to preview effects on the live camera while you browse. PRICING 5 effects are free - forever, no trial, no time limit. Love what you see? Unlock all 20 effects plus Image Green Screen, Tint Green Screen, Transform Image, and custom app icons for a single $4.99 payment. No subscription. No recurring charges. Pay once, create forever.

The new paywall is implemented sensibly and is a reasonable price. If you’re trying to replace your background super easily, or obscure yourself from a video, I recommend this app. There are a few changes I’d enjoy seeing, like: - allowing you to see the result when you tap different effects instead of needing to dismiss the whole effects drawer (since it sits in front of the video) - add back the Zoom Motion effect, if you can fix the bug that it used to have in background mode - support for pinch to zoom - make certain effects extend beyond the very edges of the subject, such as making the Pixel effect only display whole pixels rather than cutting them off at the border (maybe this is impossible to achieve, but it would be cool) **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ### 1/5 — Profit > Potential *2025-01-07* i love unique, creative stuff like this. i’m always looking for the weirdest apps to create cutting edge interesting audio/visual experiences. but like, you have to pay individually for each little filter and feature? it’s a huge ask to make an ios app this paywalled and expensive, so i’m gonna have to pass. might be cheaper to just get an adobe subscription. or just download touchdesigner for free and learn/AI some code and make stuff infinitely crazier than these cute, basic little mask filters. **Developer response:** Hi, the latest version of the app has 5 free filters and a single, cheaper one time unlock for all filters and future filters. I’ve also redesigned the app for Liquid Glass and improved discoverability. I hope you give the app another try :) ### 1/5 — Bad faith update!! *2024-03-22* The update REMOVED previous options. Not only not cool, but a bad business model! It would have been smarter to let us early adopters keep features and leave good reviews. Instead, dev punked us, and now he gets bad reviews, bad vibes and early users who will never pay an “upgrade” after options were yanked. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ### 1/5 — Bad faith update!! *2024-03-21* Thexupdate REMOVED previous options I had!! Not cool at all. And bad business model. It would have been smarter to let us early adopters keep features and leave good reviews rather than punk us as most of us will never pay for an “upgrade” for what we had. ### 1/5 — Paid options are now paywalled *2023-10-30* I previously paid for the app (with a couple of filters), but now those are paywalled and I would need to pay again? Sorry, not happening! At least, leave the original filters unlocked for people who purchased to app before the update. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ### 2/5 — I see what you did there *2023-10-21* You're just going to pretend that I did not receive all of the filters during your promotion? I cannot access them anymore. Just the static. Just one filter. I see what you did there. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ### 1/5 — waste *2023-10-02* There is a charge for updating, which is really ugly. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ### 2/5 — Bad faith update!! *2023-09-30* I was going to leave a positive review cuz I like the app functionality. But then I find the update has actually REMOVED some previous options. Not cool, as they say, and for me at least, it is a COUNTER-incentive to pay for an upgrade. ### 3/5 — Unfortunate update. *2023-09-26* The app is pretty good, but the latest update took basic functionality and put it behind a paywall. I downloaded the app a month ago, and I had access to about a dozen filters, if memory serves. With the latest update, I have access to *one* filter, unless I pay to unlock others. I have nothing against putting functionality behind a paywall, but locking *previously available* functionality away without even mentioning it in the release notes? That’s low. **Developer response:** Hi, I’m the new owner of the app. I’ve just released a new version with a redesigned interface for Liquid Glass, and all previous purchasers have all of the filters unlocked. I hope you’ll give it another try — I’d love to hear what you think! ## Frequently asked questions about Glint ### Does Glint have ads? Glint does not contain advertisements.
