Parallelogram
Read full descriptionHide full description
Photos with depth. Pick a photo. Pick a motion. Share. That's the whole app. Parallelogram turns any image from your library into a looping video where the subject pops out from the background — like a window into the scene. Perfect for posting, sending to friends, or just enjoying on your home screen. Behind the scenes, the app uses Apple's measured depth from Portrait Mode photos when it's available, or estimates depth on-device for everything else. Your photos never leave your phone. WHAT YOU CAN DO Four hand-tuned motion templates — circular orbit, side-to-side pan, up-and-down bob, and a corner-to-corner X path Drop in caption text with fonts, colors, halo, and shadow — and drag it anywhere on the preview to position Swap the background for any other image Pick your export aspect — Source, Square, 9:16 Portrait, or 16:9 Landscape — and the preview reshapes to match Adjust loop length and number of repetitions Export and share to Messages, AirDrop, Photos, or any app via the standard share sheet WHAT'S DIFFERENT Most apps in this category either require a special camera mode, or they upload your photos to a server for processing. Parallelogram runs entirely on-device. Portrait Mode photos use Apple's measured depth for the sharpest possible results. Everything else uses on-device depth analysis — no account, no network, no exception. The motion templates aren't generic post-effects; the app reconstructs a small 3D scene from your photo's depth and moves a virtual camera through it, the way a real spatial-photo platform would. PRIVACY Nothing leaves your device. No data collection, no analytics, no telemetry, no ads, no third-party SDKs. Read the full policy at panoscano.com/parallelogram-support.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Parallelogram at none against 505 Camera's 3. Parallelogram also leads on ads (none vs shown). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
