Portal Frame

Frame the shot with your hands Portal Frame turns the simple "finger frame" gesture into a real-time effects camera. Hold up both hands, shape a rectangle with your thumbs and index fingers like you're framing a photo, and the app locks onto it instantly. Whatever effect you've picked plays out live, inside the frame you made, while the rest of the shot stays untouched. Hand tracking runs entirely on-device, so it keeps up in real time even without a signal. THE PORTAL EFFECT Open your palm and a glowing ring forms beneath it. Close it into a fist and the ring charges brighter, faster, more energy. Throw a punch and that hand's portal bursts outward in the direction you threw it. Each hand runs its own portal completely independently, so both can be open, charging, or bursting at the same time. 60+ REAL-TIME EFFECTS A full GPU-accelerated effects library across eight categories Color, Artistic, Retro, Distortion, Light, Cinematic, Experimental, and the signature Portal effect. Pixelate, glitch, VHS, oil painting, kaleidoscope, bloom, thermal, hologram, and dozens more, all rendered live at full frame rate. BUILT FOR PRIVACY Portal Frame doesn't have a backend. Your camera feed, microphone audio, and recordings are processed on your device and never transmitted anywhere there's no server for them to go to. No account, no analytics SDK, no ad tracking. Read exactly what the app touches and why in the in-app Privacy Policy. RECORD, SAVE, SHARE Record straight from the live preview, review it in your library, and save finished clips to your Photos app in one tap. Works offline record in airplane mode and every effect still runs. PORTAL FRAME PRO Unlock the complete 60+ effect library with no watermark, and run the portal effect on both hands at once. Weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifetime options are available manage or cancel anytime from your Apple ID subscription settings.
