About

Texture Ripper

Features
Read full description

Texture Ripper pulls flat, perspective-corrected textures out of ordinary photos. Shoot a surface at an angle — a stone wall across the street, a rusty door, a parquet floor — drag four corners around it, and get a straightened, high-resolution texture ready for your game, 3D scene, or design work. HOW IT WORKS Import a photo from your camera, photo library, Files, or a URL. Drag the corner handles around the surface you want. Texture Ripper unwarps the perspective using an exact homography and renders a clean rectangular texture at any size up to 4096×4096. A magnifier loupe appears while you drag, so corner placement is pixel-precise. NOT JUST RECTANGLES Surfaces in the real world bend and bulge. Tap any edge of your selection to add extra control points and shape it around curved or irregular surfaces — Texture Ripper fits the geometry with a smooth Coons patch, not just a flat quad. SEAMLESS TILING Turn on Seamless mode and the edges are cross-faded so your texture tiles without visible seams. Check the result instantly in the live 3×3 tiled preview, and tune the blend width to taste. WORK IN BATCHES Mark up to 16 regions in a single photo, each with its own output size, and save them all with one tap. Every texture lands in your photo library as an individual PNG, organized into a Texture Ripper album. FEATURES • Perspective correction with exact corner-pin homography • Curved-surface extraction with multi-point edges • Seamless tile mode with adjustable edge blending • Live 3×3 tiling preview • Edge-snapping: corners lock onto strong lines in the photo • Perspective grid overlay for aligning brick and tile rows • Up to 16 extraction regions per photo • Output up to 4096×4096, with automatic size estimation • Import from camera, photo library, Files, or URL • Supports JPG, PNG, HEIC, TIFF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, GIF • Saves individual PNGs to a dedicated Photos album • Works fully offline — no account, no ads, no subscriptions Built for game developers, 3D artists, level designers, architects, and anyone who needs real-world materials fast. Pay once, own it forever.
