Turn choppy video into buttery-smooth motion β€” with one tap. FlowFrame uses AI frame interpolation to draw the frames your video is missing, turning it into smooth 60fps / 120fps footage or 2x / 4x slow motion. Everything runs on your iPhone. Your videos are never uploaded. GREAT FOR β€’ Choppy gameplay captures and anime clips β€’ Pets, kids, dance and sports β€” add slow motion after the fact β€’ 30fps footage that deserves to look great on a 120Hz display β€’ A final polish before posting to social media THREE SIMPLE STEPS 1. Pick a video (Photos or the Files app) 2. Choose 60fps, 120fps or a slow-motion factor β€” FlowFrame shows the resulting fps, duration and frame count up front 3. Tap "Make it smooth" (progress and time remaining shown; cancel anytime) Then compare Before / After / Split slider, and save to Photos or share. WHY FLOWFRAME β€’ 100% on-device β€” no uploads, no account, works offline β€’ On iOS 26 and later, Apple's latest frame-rate conversion technology delivers higher quality and speed β€’ HDR stays HDR β€” brightness and color don't shift (converted to SDR on some devices) β€’ No watermark β€” not even on the free version β€’ Your original is never touched β€” a new video is added to Photos only when you save β€’ If a video can't be converted, FlowFrame tells you why (unsupported format, low memory, low storage…) FREE β€’ Convert the first 10 seconds of any video (longer clips are trimmed so you can try it) β€’ 60fps output, up to 1080p β€’ Slow-motion (2x / 4x) preview β€’ Before/after comparison and saving to Photos PRO β€” ONE-TIME PURCHASE, NO SUBSCRIPTION β€’ No length limit β€” convert to the very last second β€’ 120fps output β€’ Save and share slow motion (2x / 4x) β€’ Output up to 4K β€’ High-quality export (more accurate in-between frames + higher bitrate) Buy once, keep forever. PRO is tied to your Apple ID and can be restored on a new device. COMPATIBILITY β€’ iOS 16.4 or later β€’ Input: videos from Photos or the Files app (MOV / MP4, etc.) β€’ Output: 60fps / 120fps, 480p–4K, HEVC (H.265) PLEASE NOTE β€’ Frame interpolation estimates motion, so fast or complex scenes may show some ghosting or warping β€’ 4K and long videos take time.
