Brushshot is a camera that turns every shot into art, right on your iPhone. Pick a look, tap the shutter, and your photo comes back as a watercolor, a comic panel, a 3D character, a retro poster, or one of fifty other styles. Or type your own prompts and make a look nobody else has. NOTHING LEAVES YOUR PHONE No servers. No accounts. No uploads. Brushshot runs on Apple Intelligence, on your device. Your photos and your art stay with you. We never see them, and there is nothing to sign up for. A REAL CAMERA A leatherette body with real controls. Square, 3:4 or 9:16 frames. A camcorder zoom rocker. Flash, self-timer, front camera, and import from Photos. Keep Me holds on to your face. Reinvent lets it wander. Works with the Camera Control button. FIFTY LOOKS, OR YOUR OWN Subjects, art styles, photo looks and fun. Every look is a handful of short phrases tuned for Apple's Image Playground. Type your own words, or paste any prompt you find and Brushshot distills it into phrases on your iPhone. YOUR GALLERY Every result is kept next to its original. Swipe through them, share them, or save both to Photos. Ask Siri to "Reimagine with Brushshot" and it works from Shortcuts and the Action button too. BRUSHSHOT PRO One purchase, yours for good. Pro opens the gallery tools: - 3D Peek and Wiggle. Look around inside a result and save a looping wiggle clip. - Spatial Photo. Export any result in 3D for Apple Vision Pro. - Trichrome. Split the colors apart like a three-plate photograph. - Sticker and Overlay. Lift the subject out, or paint it onto your real photo. - The Photo Looks pack. 35mm Film, Night Fisheye, Kaleidoscope, Lens Flare, Split Diopter, Halo and more. The camera, the core looks, your saved words and your gallery are free forever. No subscription. Requires an iPhone with Apple Intelligence turned on. Brushshot uses Apple's Image Playground to make the art.
