Starting

Yes. Warped has no paywall, no subscription and no advertising.

Does Warped need an internet connection?

No. Warped does all its work on your iPhone, and it does not connect to the internet.

Cursing a photo

How do I curse a photo?

Open a photo. In Resize, drag the Curse ruler to the left. The ruler goes from 0% to 100%.

The face did not change much.

Curse works best when a face fills a large part of the photo. If the people are small, paint over a face with the Melt brush, then use Curse again. Also make sure the switch in Resize is set to Melt.

How do I make a forehead bigger?

Select Melt and paint over the forehead. Select Resize, then drag the top edge of the photo up. The painted part grows first.

How do I keep one person normal?

Select Keep and paint over that person. A painted part does not warp. You can also open Subjects and tap a person to switch that person off.

What does the dice do?

The dice sets a random Curse amount and, most of the time, a random shape. Tap it again for a different result.

How do I return to the original?

Tap Original in Resize, or tap Undo. To look at the original without a change to your edit, touch and hold the Compare button.

Resizing without a crop

How do I fit a photo to a story or a post?

In Resize, set the switch to Keep. Then tap a ratio such as 9:16 or 4:5. Warped removes background and keeps the people whole.

A person still looks squeezed.

If a person fills most of the photo, there is too little background to remove. Choose a ratio nearer to the original.

How do I remove an object?

Select Melt and paint over the object. Then tap "Remove Painted Part".

Saving and sharing

How do I save a video?

Tap the export button at the top right. Select Video, then tap "Make Video". When the video plays, tap "Save to Photos" or Share.

"Photos access was not granted."

Open the Settings app on your iPhone, then Apps, then Warped, then Photos. Choose "Add Photos Only". You can also use Share, which needs no permission.

How large can a photo be?

Warped works at up to 12 megapixels. It reduces a larger photo to that size when you open it.

Your data

Where are my edits stored?

Warped stores each photo that you open as a draft on your iPhone. The drafts are in the Recent list on the first screen.

How do I delete everything?

Open Settings in Warped and tap "Delete All Local Data". Photos that you saved to your library stay there.

How do I report a problem?

Open Settings in Warped and tap "Share Diagnostics". Send the report to the address at the top of this page. The report contains timings and your iPhone model. It contains no photos.
