Stills are dead. Strobfy doesn't edit your photos. It breaks them — into pulsing, flickering, high-contrast video you can post anywhere. Pick a few shots from your camera roll, tap a recipe or set the tempo yourself, and export. No timeline, no learning curve. RECIPES Ready-made looks like STROBE, PULSE and BREAK set every slider in one tap. Tweak them, save your own and get them back on all your devices via iCloud. CONTROL THE PULSE Frame interval, double-blink frequency, white flash rate and blank shutter rate — set exactly how your shots cut and flash. RAW VISUAL CONTROLS Kinetic jitter, black-and-white contrast, film grain, scanline and VHS overlay, pixelation bursts, slice glitch. Every slider is on one screen. Nothing buried in menus. Edit the VHS text: turn PLAY and the date on or off, or set your own date. GRAPHIC TEXT Add text layers and control rotation, scale and font weight. Pick Arial or one of five extra fonts: Space Mono, Instrument Serif, VT323, Syne and Anton. BUILT FOR POSTING Export 15-second clips, or up to 60 seconds with Pro, as 9:16 Story/Reel, 1:1 square, 4:5 portrait or 16:9 landscape. Saved straight to your photo library. ON-DEVICE Everything happens on your iPhone. Your photos are never uploaded anywhere. No account, no sign-up, no tracking. STROBFY PRO Strobfy is free to use, and you can try every feature in the preview. One purchase unlocks STROBFY Pro for good: no watermark (or your own text instead), all recipes plus up to 10 of your own, 5 extra fonts, videos up to 60 seconds and Edit VHS text. No subscription. Bought "Remove Watermark" before? You already have Pro. PHOTOSENSITIVITY WARNING Strobfy creates rapid flashing and high-contrast strobing effects. A small number of people may experience seizures when exposed to flashing lights, even with no prior history. Do not use this app if you are sensitive to flashing lights.
