Turn your iPhone or iPad into a touch-first projection mapping and video mapping studio. Lazy Lighting lets you warp videos, photos, live camera feeds, animated drawings, and generative VJ visuals onto walls, stages, sculptures, windows, objects, and multi-surface installations—without a laptop. MAP ANY SURFACE Create squares, circles, custom text, cubes, boxes, image silhouettes, and hand-drawn outlines. Drag corners directly on screen to align each projection, bend edges around curved forms, then use masks and cutouts to control exactly where every visual appears. Map several surfaces at once. Assign different content to individual shapes, layer visuals with independent opacity and ordering, and save projects to continue later. CREATE LIVE VISUALS • Explore built-in visualizers, VJ loops, generative shaders, gradients, tunnels, neon effects, and shape-aware animations • Import videos and photos from your device • Use a live camera feed as projection content • Draw and animate original visuals by hand • Crop, fit, mask, layer, and apply real-time effects including kaleidoscope, tile, slide, rotate, zoom, blur, monochrome, invert, and color cycle • Make visuals react to audio or control parameters with MIDI • Animate controls with BPM-synced LFO and envelope modulation • Use hand and face tracking for expressive control BUILD A COMPLETE SHOW Create scenes and switch between them live, or arrange them on a timeline. Add an audio track, trim and duplicate clips, automate visual parameters, and move between looks with fade or dissolve transitions. Export the finished projection-mapped show in 720p, 1080p, or 4K with audio. Save it to Photos or send it to a compatible receiver running Lazy Lighting Link. EXPORT ONCE. PLAY WITHOUT YOUR PHONE. Once the transfer is complete, Lazy Lighting Link saves and loops the show on the receiver. Close the app and free your iPhone or iPad—the projection keeps playing without your device remaining connected. CONNECT YOUR WAY Connect by HDMI with a compatible USB-C or Lightning adapter, use AirPlay, or connect through Lazy Lighting Link. External display output keeps the controls on your device while the visual output fills the projector. Lazy Lighting is made for projection artists, VJs, DJs, musicians, performers, stage and event designers, galleries, installations, window displays, parties, home ambience, and Halloween, Christmas, or holiday projections. Create the map. Build the visuals. Perform live—or export once and let Lazy Lighting Link keep it playing. A compatible projector or display and a wired or wireless connection are required for external output. Lazy Lighting Link export requires a compatible receiver on the same network. Some features require a subscription. Terms of Use: https://lazylighting.com/ios-terms Privacy Policy: https://lazylighting.com/ios-privacy

Describe the wrap you want and AI paints it onto your car. It takes about 30 seconds. WrapStudio AI turns a sentence into a finished vehicle wrap, laid out on the exact panel template for your EV, with every door, fender and cutout lined up with the real body. No design software, no deposit, no waiting on a shop. DESIGN BY DESCRIBING Tell the built-in assistant what you're after — "matte forest green with copper pinstripes", "neon Tokyo skyline across the doors" — and it paints the wrap for you. Change a word, get a completely different result. Prefer to do it yourself? The free 2D editor lets you place your own photos, colours and text on every panel. SEE IT IN 3D BEFORE YOU COMMIT Spin your design on a detailed 3D model of your vehicle, with real wheels, lights and glass in a showroom setting. See how a graphic flows around a fender before you decide. REFINE UNTIL IT'S RIGHT Every wrap includes a free edit. Describe the fix and only that part is redrawn. The panel layout stays intact, so it still fits the car. AI LIGHT SHOWS Pick a song and WrapStudio choreographs a custom light show to its beat: headlights, light bars, turn signals and tails, plus mirrors, windows and doors if you want them. Preview it on the car, then save the show straight to a USB drive. LOCK SOUNDS A free library of lock chimes, each one checked to play on the car, plus AI lock sounds: type a phrase, pick a voice, and get your own chime. TWO WAYS TO USE A WRAP • On the screen — load it on your car's display. Free. • On the vehicle — export the full-resolution original to take to a wrap shop. A COMMUNITY OF DESIGNS Browse wraps from other owners, bookmark the ones you like, and remix any design onto your own vehicle. Follow creators and see which designs are catching on. WHAT IT COSTS Browsing and downloading community designs, the 2D editor and the lock sound library are free. Your first AI wrap is free. After that, credits pay for AI wraps, AI lock sounds and light shows — packs start at $2.99 and never expire. WrapStudio Unlimited is an optional auto-renewing subscription with AI wraps and free light shows; prices are shown in the app before you subscribe, and you can cancel any time in your Apple ID settings. Terms of Use: https://teslawrapstudio.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://teslawrapstudio.app/privacy WrapStudio AI is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any vehicle manufacturer.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Lazy Lighting holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lazy Lighting has 492 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Lazy Lighting's written reviews are positive against 50% of WrapStudio AI's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Lazy Lighting ships an update every 11 days, WrapStudio AI every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 8, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
