RoundCorner allows you to effortlessly transform the right-angle corners of your photos into smoothly rounded corners. The application offers two convenient methods for achieving this effect: first, by manually entering the desired radius if you have a specific measurement in mind; alternatively, by using an interactive slider to dynamically adjust the corner radius until you achieve the desired appearance. Once you've customized your photo, you can easily save it back to your Photos app, store it locally on your iPhone/iPad, or save it to your iCloud drive. Additionally, RoundCorner facilitates seamless sharing of the rounded corner photo through various apps such as AirDrop, Messages, Mail, Books, and more. Interactive Change ================== By manipulating the slider within the range of 0 to the maximum possible corner radius determined by the selected photo, you can dynamically and interactively fine-tune the corner radius, seamlessly adjusting it back and forth until you achieve the desired level of satisfaction. Precise Corner Radius ===================== If you have a precise value in mind, you can input the corner radius directly using the number keypad. As you enter the desired number, the photo's corners will dynamically adjust. Simply tap "Done" upon completion or tap the photo to hide the number keypad. Please note that the maximum allowable value is limited to four digits. Save & Share ============ Save the rounded corner photo back to your Photos library. Share the photo with other Apps Help about this App Links to other useful Apps Note ==== The saved or shared rounded corner photo is in PNG format rather than JPG. This choice is made because JPG does not support transparency, specifically the alpha channel.

Rotation is a visual art application based on the phenakistoscope principle, allowing you to easily create fascinating dynamic visual effects. By placing images on a rotating disc and utilizing the persistence of vision phenomenon, it produces magical visual experiences. 【Main Features】 • 77 Pre-installed Images: The app includes various specially selected phenakistoscope and persistence of vision effect images, ready to use • Custom Images: Import your own images from photo library to create personalized visual effects • Flexible Parameter Adjustment: Control frame rate, rotation angle, rotation direction, image size, and position • Rich Preset Styles: Offers five preset styles including modern, classic, dynamic, natural, and abstract • Multi-language Support: Compatible with 33 languages, including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and more 【Parameter Details】 • Frame Rate: Controls the number of frames displayed per second, ranging from 1-60 fps • Rotation Angle: Adjusts the rotation angle of each frame, ranging from 1°-180° • Rotation Direction: Choose between clockwise or counterclockwise rotation • Image Size: Controls the display ratio of images on the disc, ranging from 100%-300% • Alignment: Sets the position of images on the disc, supporting both horizontal and vertical alignment 【Persistence of Vision】 Persistence of vision is a physiological characteristic of the human eye. When we see an image, the impression formed on the retina doesn't disappear immediately but persists for a short period (about 0.1-0.4 seconds). This phenomenon allows us to perceive rapidly presented static images as continuous smooth motion. 【Phenakistoscope Principle】 The phenakistoscope is an optical toy invented in the 19th century that creates visual illusions through rotation, reflection, and optical principles. Combined with the persistence of vision effect, when the disc rotates rapidly, it creates a superimposed effect on the retina, producing stunning symmetrical and fractal patterns. 【Application Scenarios】 • Visual Art Creation: Designers can create unique visual effects • Educational Demonstrations: Teachers can explain the principle of persistence of vision • Mental Relaxation: Watching the rotation effects can help relax the mind • Entertainment: Add fun to family gatherings or friend meetups 【Usage Tips】 • For phenakistoscope effect images, it's recommended to set the rotation angle to 360° divided by the number of evenly divided portions in the image • Adjusting the image size to 200%-300% can achieve a more concentrated visual effect • Try different rotation directions to produce different visual experiences Whether you're a visual art enthusiast, designer, or just someone who enjoys interesting visual experiences, Rotation can bring you a unique visual treat. Download the app and start your phenakistoscope visual journey!
