Don't filter it. Destroy it. The original Photo Destroyer first hit the App Store in April 2011, back in the iPhone 4 days. Fifteen years later it's back, rebuilt from the ground up: 70 weapons, damage that looks real, and every destruction ready to share. Pick a photo, snap one with the camera or choose one of the built-in victims, then wreck it with your fingers. This is not a filter: every tap, swipe and hold does real damage. The picture cracks, holes punch through, edges char and curl, pieces break off and fall. TOOLS THAT LOOK REAL A steel sledgehammer. A flamethrower with its tank and hose. A whole dragon that breathes fire, a T-Rex that steps in and takes a bite, a bulldozer that peels the picture up ahead of its blade. The paper dents, tears, lifts, scorches and soaks the way a real print would. YOUR FINGERS ARE THE WEAPON Tap to crack it, keep hitting to smash through. Swipe to slash. Hold the flamethrower until it burns a hole. Plant dynamite and hit the plunger. Shake your phone and the loose bits drop off. 70 WEAPONS Start with the free Starter Kit: Hammer, Bomb, Flamethrower, Dynamite, Axe, Electricity, Machine Gun, Rotten Tomatoes, Baseball Bat and Rip It Up. Free forever, use them as much as you like. Then open The Armory: Fire & Explosions, Smash & Crack, Shredder, Glitch & Corruption, Acid & Melt, Cartoon Violence, Apocalypse (Nuclear Strike, Meteor Strike, Volcano), Sci-Fi (Black Hole, Alien Death Ray, Abduction), Monsters (T-Rex, Kraken) and Run It Over. MADE TO SHARE Every destruction becomes a 3 to 8 second video with sound, made for your feed and your stories. Or share a GIF, the wrecked photo, or a before and after. Save the video to your Photos in one tap. NOTHING TO DESTROY? NO PROBLEM 24 built-in victims (Monday, the office printer, the alarm clock...) and Type It: type whatever you can't stand and blow it up. HOLIDAY SPECIALS Six holidays a year bring their own weapon and four new victims: a Snowball Barrage for Christmas, a Confetti Cannon for New Year, Cupid's Arrows, a Pot of Gold, a Magnifying Glass for midsummer and Pumpkin Smash for Halloween. They open on their own days for everyone; use the weapon once and it stays in your Armory. IN YOUR LANGUAGE Play in English, Spanish, French, German or Brazilian Portuguese. MORE The Rubble gallery keeps your past wrecks. 25 badges to earn. Every 25 uses you are offered a free try of a random locked weapon. Switch on Comic text for BOOM! and POW! lettering. No ads. No account. Your photos stay on your device unless you share them. Weapon packs are optional, one at a time or all at once. Destroyer Pro adds every weapon, removes the watermark, and unlocks HD video, 4K photos, the Power Dial for bigger blasts and your own line on the end card. No Ads. No tracking. Just games. ## Key features - Realistic damage effects - 70+ destruction tools and weapons - Create shareable videos and GIFs - Built-in victim photos - Typeable destruction targets - Holiday-themed specials - Multi-language support ## Pricing and in-app purchases Base price: Free. **One-time purchases** | Purchase | Price | Type | | --- | --- | --- | | Acid & Melt | $0.99 | one-time | | Glitch & Corruption | $0.99 | one-time | | Smash & Crack | $0.99 | one-time | | Apocalypse | $0.99 | one-time | | Run It Over | $0.99 | one-time | | Cartoon Violence | $0.99 | one-time | | Monsters | $0.99 | one-time | | Destroyer Pro | $9.99 | one-time | | Sci-Fi | $0.99 | one-time | | Everything Pack | $4.99 | one-time | ## Is Photo Destroyer safe?
