HANDCRAFTED TOOLS FOR EXPERIMENTAL EDITING. angls is for those who love unconventional approaches to photo editing. Create glitch art, pixel manipulation, and digital distortion with complete creative freedom. WHAT angls DOES Eight hands-on effects, each built to reveal something your camera never showed you. Real-time previews mean you see exactly what you're creating before you save. CLONE - Multiply the moment. Trace a line, choose a direction, and watch pixels stretch across your frame. Go further with Split, Zoom, and Explosion, or free-rotate the direction at any angle (PRO). Free Transform (PRO) lets you reshape the stretched pixels with curve handles, bending them into ripples, folds, and S-curves. FLIP - Mirror the impossible. Draw a frame and flip what's inside, horizontal or vertical, live as you drag. Tint the flipped region with color, and adjust the border thickness (PRO). Swap (PRO) trades two regions pixel for pixel. Compose (PRO) merges two photos onto one framed canvas. HAZE - Glow from nowhere. Paint streaks of light and atmosphere onto your photo with a touch. POLY - Stack your story. Layer photos into one surreal composite, each one movable, resizable, and blended your way. SERIES - Watch golden hour unfold. Capture the light as it shifts, shot by shot, and turn the sequence into one striking strip. PRO adds Zoom Tunnel and Patchwork layouts and custom shot reminders. TIME - Scrapbook, reimagined. Arrange, rotate, and collage your shots into a single frame, over any background color. CROP & COLOR Frame it your way with every aspect ratio, then dial in the mood with hue, saturation, contrast, brightness, and invert. DUAL CAMERA Shoot with the front and back cameras at once. PRO lets you swap which feed is the main shot. WHO angls IS FOR For creators, artists, and photographers who care more about feeling than perfection.
