Fisheye Filter

Bulge any photo with a real fisheye lens effect, live on the picture, then download it at full resolution.

How it works

How to add a fisheye filter to a photo?

  1. Open the photo

    Drag in a JPG, PNG or WebP, or pick one. It is read straight off your device — nothing is uploaded, so there is no size cap and no queue. A selfie works best for the fisheye lens face look.

  2. Pick a strength

    Subtle, Classic, Max or Pinch. Classic is the skate-video lens — a strong bulge with darkened corners. Max is the exaggerated fish eye pfp look. Pinch runs the lens in reverse.

  3. Dial it in

    Two sliders: the bulge itself, from full pinch to full fisheye, and a vignette for the darkened corners a real lens has. Hold the compare button any time to see the shot you started from.

  4. Download it

    Save as JPG, PNG or WebP. The warp is applied at the picture’s own resolution, so what you get is the full-size original with the lens baked in — and nothing stamped in the corner.

What it does

A fisheye pfp maker that is actually a lens

A fisheye is not a blur or a colour grade — it is geometry. An ultra-wide lens bends the fish eye perspective so the middle of the frame comes towards you and straight lines bow outwards, and that is what this tool computes, pixel by pixel, on your photo. The vignette supplies the other half of the look: the darkened corners every real fisheye lens has.

A real lens warp

The bulge is a radial distortion computed per pixel, not a CSS trick — the middle comes towards you the way an ultra-wide lens pulls it, and straight lines bow the way they should.

Corners stay filled

The warp never samples from outside the picture, so the frame stays a full rectangle — no black wedges or stretched smears creeping in from the edges.

Made for pfps

The fisheye lens face look — nose forward, face bulged, corners dark — is one tap. Pair it with the circle crop tool and it is a finished profile picture.

Vignette built in

Darkened corners are half of what makes a fisheye read as a lens rather than a warp. The vignette has a smooth falloff and agrees with the fisheye about where the frame’s edge is.

Pinch as well as bulge

The slider runs negative too: the middle pushed away from you instead of towards you, for the reverse fish eye perspective.

Hold to compare

Press and hold to see the original in the same frame at the same size. Let go and the lens is back.

Your own resolution

JPG, PNG or WebP with the quality in your hands, written at the picture’s own pixel size — never a preview blown back up.

Nothing leaves your device

The photo is read, warped and saved entirely in your browser. There is no upload, no account and no watermark.

Which strength

Picking the right amount of bulge

The four presets cover the looks people actually reach for. Start from the nearest one, then move the sliders.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is this free, and does the export have a watermark?

Yes. Free, no watermark, no sign-in.

Does my photo get uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything runs in your browser on your device.

How do I make a fish eye pfp?

Open a selfie, tap Classic or Max, and download. For a round profile picture, run the result through the circle crop tool afterwards.

What is the fisheye lens face effect?

The close-up ultra-wide look: whatever is nearest the lens — usually the nose — bulges forward while the edges of the frame bend away. Tap Max and hold the phone-camera framing in mind: the closer the face fills the frame, the stronger it reads.

Can I do the reverse — pinch instead of bulge?

Yes. Drag the fisheye slider negative, or tap Pinch. The middle is pushed away from you instead of pulled towards you.

Will the photo lose quality or come back smaller?

No. The warp runs at full original resolution. PNG is lossless; JPG and WebP default to 92% quality.

What image formats can I open and export?

Open and export JPG, PNG, or WebP.
