Flash Effect turns any photo into a real 80s–90s disposable-camera snapshot — direct flash lighting, bright clean exposure, stronger contrast, subtle cyan-green film tones, light grain, and that unmistakable point-and-shoot energy. No tripod. No studio. No filters stacking on filters. Just pick a photo, tap Create Flash, and get a finished shot in seconds. WHY PEOPLE LOVE IT Instant 35mm flash look from any modern photo. Clean, even full-scene flash — no fake glow or hotspots. Keeps your composition, faces, and outfit exactly as they were. Works on selfies, group photos, pets, street shots, and parties. Output is ready to save to Photos and post anywhere. HOW IT WORKS Pick a photo from your library, tap Create Flash, and get your disposable-camera-style result in about 20–40 seconds. Generations run in the background, so you can close the screen or switch apps — your flash photo will be ready when you come back. FLASH EFFECT CREDITS Every creation uses 1 credit.

Read full description

TryOnFrames AI is a virtual try-on for glasses and sunglasses that lets you see how frames look on your face before you buy. Found the perfect pair on a brand website, optician, marketplace, or online store? Just paste the product URL. TryOnFrames reads the product page, finds the actual frame images and available measurements, and uses AI to create a realistic virtual try-on on your face. No guessing. No switching between stores and try-on apps. Try the frames you actually want to buy. HOW IT WORKS 1. PASTE A PRODUCT URL Find glasses or sunglasses anywhere online and paste the product link into TryOnFrames. You can also search frames directly across partner stores. 2. TAKE ONE PHOTO Use the on-screen face guide to capture the perfect photo, or choose an existing photo from your library. 3. TRY ON YOUR FRAMES Get an AI-generated virtual try-on in seconds. See how the frames look, compare different styles, then tap through to the original product page to buy. WHY TRYONFRAMES? • TRY ON FRAMES FROM ANY STORE Use glasses and sunglasses product pages from brands, opticians, marketplaces, and online retailers. • SHOP WITH CONFIDENCE See how frames look on your own face before spending money. • REAL PRODUCT IMAGES TryOnFrames uses the actual product images from the page rather than a generic frame library. • AI-POWERED FIT When frame measurements are available, they help determine the size and positioning of the virtual try-on. • SEARCH, SORT & FILTER Discover eyewear across partner stores and filter by price, brand, colour, and country. • COMPARE YOUR FAVORITES Your photo stays ready between try-ons, making it easy to compare frame after frame. • KEEP YOUR TRY-ONS Use History to review, save, share, or delete your previous renders. • SHOP WITHOUT LOSING YOUR PLACE Open the original product page in the built-in browser and continue shopping after your virtual try-on. • NO SUBSCRIPTION Every install includes 1 free try-on. Need more? Buy 5 additional credits for $0.99 as a one-time purchase. PRIVACY FIRST Your photos and renders stay on your device for the session. We do not store your photos or renders on our servers or in a database. BEFORE YOU BUY Try-on images are AI-generated approximations for demonstration. Actual frame colour, lens tint, size, proportions, and fit may differ from the real product. TryOnFrames is not affiliated with the brands, retailers, opticians, or marketplaces whose product pages you use.
