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?
