Reflections Camera is a creative camera app for making mirrored, symmetrical, and kaleidoscope-style photos directly on iPhone. Frame one half of a scene for a clean mirror reflection, or choose an even-numbered pie reflection to repeat an active slice into a radial composition. Capture finished images in-camera without editing afterward. Use Reflections Camera for quick visual experiments, graphic compositions, product shots, portraits, interiors, architecture, nature details, and abstract patterns. Features: - Live camera preview with reflection guide - Vertical and horizontal mirror modes - Choose the source half: left, right, top, or bottom - Pie reflection mode with 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, or 12 mirrored slices - Choose the active slice used for radial reflections - Rule-of-thirds grid for precise framing - Tap to focus and expose - Front and rear camera support - Lens selection when supported by the device - Flash, torch, timer, and zoom controls - Full-screen review before saving - Save to Photos or share with the iOS share sheet - Saves reflection settings into photo metadata Reflections Camera keeps the workflow simple: frame, reflect, capture, save. No AI is used. Reflections Camera creates images with deterministic camera capture and image processing on your device.
