As a long term PS user turned Affinity Photo user... I can't even begin to explain how useful this app is. THANK YOU so much, it's saved me HOURS of work, and it's completely levelled up the design work I'm able to deliver clients. ❤️

I've been following Effect.app for some time now and I really enjoy it. I teach part-time at school and my students are gradually getting to know it 🙂 it's a nice app. From what I've seen around me, the reactions are positive! Really great.

It's crazy. I have been using old BLKmarket halftone effect so it's first time I am using, and this is much more technologically refined.

I enjoy using effect.app because of the amount of interesting effects and other features. I mostly use effect.app for graphic designing purposes. I just can't wait for the app. That's what am more excited about.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I create with Effect.app?

Apply 40+ professional effects to images and videos in your browser. From film looks and halftones to glows, glitches, and gradients, every effect renders in real time with instant previews. Export stills as PNG or animated loops up to 10 seconds.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Effect.app runs entirely in your browser. Create a free account, open the app, drop in an image or video, and start creating. No downloads or plugins required.

Can I export in 4K?

Yes. Pro exports images and videos at 4K, with target frame rates of 24, 30, and 60 FPS, in MP4, WebM, and lossless PNG sequences. Studio goes well past 4K — up to 16K per side, where the practical limit becomes your graphics card and memory rather than the plan. Frames larger than 4K are exported with HEVC when your device supports it, or downscaled to fit standard MP4 limits.

How long can exported videos be?

Free exports cover the first 5 seconds of any effect. Paid plans range from 120 seconds on Pro up to two hours on Studio — see the plan comparison for each tier.

Are my files uploaded to your servers?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser. Your files stay on your machine, which makes Effect.app safe for NDA-bound and confidential work.

Does Effect.app use AI, and is my work used to train models?

Effect.app is built on deterministic real-time WebGL and WebCodecs pipelines, not generative AI. Your images and videos are processed locally in your browser and never sent to our servers for training or any other purpose. Nothing you load is used to train any model, and your work stays private to your device.

Can I save my favorite looks?

Yes. Save any combination of effects and settings as a custom preset, then reuse or share it. Browse the curated presets library for art-directed starting points.

Does it work with Figma?

Yes. The Figma plugin lets you apply any Effect.app effect to a frame without leaving Figma, so your image editing stays inside your design workflow.

Can I animate effects with keyframes?

Yes. Add keyframes to any supported effect slider to change values over time and build dynamic, animated effects. Drag keyframes to adjust timing, edit the selected keyframe from the original control, and right-click to choose interpolation curves from linear to elastic easing. Keyframes are saved inside presets, so animated looks can be stored, reused, and shared with the community. Adding keyframes is free on every plan; exporting a video that plays them requires the Animate or Studio plan.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. Create a free account to get started — no credit card required. Upgrade to Pro for 4K export, longer videos, and watermark-free output, to Animate for keyframe animation, or to Studio for maximum-resolution export, batch processing, and AI automation.
