What It Does
Turn any photo or video into experimental art. Free to download: 150+ live camera effects, your own camera FX built from 100+ layers, and AI that builds a look from your words.
FX MAKER: BUILD YOUR OWN FX
Layer Patchd's 100+ FX modules (glitch, color, mosaic, warp, body, face, hand, objects, backgrounds, scenes and beat-synced looks) into a camera FX that's all yours. Put each layer on the person, the background or the whole frame, and let your face or hands drive it.
MY FXS
Every FX you build, roll or describe is saved to My FXs and syncs with your Patchd account across iPhone, iPad and Android. Use it live in the camera, on photos and on videos with Re-Patch.
AI LOOKS & AI REMIX
Type "neon ghost with a glitchy mosaic background" and Apple Intelligence builds it as an FX Stack from Patchd's tested effects, then change it with more prompts. (iPhone and iPad with Apple Intelligence.)
RE-PATCH ANY CLIP
Record or import a video, choose any effect or one of your saved FXs, and render a new version on your device.
150+ LIVE CAMERA EFFECTS
Datamosh, VHS tape, pixel sort, ASCII, mosaics, liquid warps, glow, motion trails, blob tracking, body and face effects, 3D effects, sticker packs and hand-controlled play apps. HTML SWAP and VIDEO SWAP put a website or any video behind you or on you.
VIDEO EDITOR, PHOTO EDIT & COMPOSE
A simple timeline with beat-synced templates for 9:16, 4:5 or 16:9, layered photo effects with masks, and a Compose studio for shader scenes.
PATCHD PRO
Patchd is free, and every effect is free to try. Patchd Pro removes the watermark and unlocks 1080p–4K and 60 fps exports, unlimited saved FXs and AI Looks, Re-Patch renders, presets, Beat Sync songs and recording in the Pro camera apps. Choose Pro Monthly or Pro Lifetime. Bought Patchd before it went free? Pro is yours for life.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your camera, photos and videos are processed on your device and aren't uploaded by Patchd. Only your saved FXs and presets sync to your account.
