iPhone
Transform any photo into an interactive 3D point cloud, save as video. On-device depth estimation. 32 real-time filters and 10 lenses. Privacy-first. No uploads.
Signal Loss
Turn any photo into a living, moving 3D scene.
Signal Loss transforms a single image into a dense point cloud that you can move through, animate, distort, and record. Create cinematic camera moves, surreal particle effects, and impossible perspectives from photos that were never captured in 3D.
Use a portrait, landscape, room, sculpture, illustration, or archive photo. Signal Loss reconstructs depth directly on your iPhone with no cloud processing and no special hardware required.
For iPhone Pro users, LiDAR capture allows you to walk around an object and build glitchy and unaligned point clouds from the real world.
// FROM PHOTO TO MOTION
Every pixel becomes a 3D point colored from the original image. The result is not a filter applied to a photograph. It's a navigable scene made of particles.
Move through the image. Orbit around it. Push into impossible viewpoints. Record camera paths and export finished videos directly from your phone.
Render scenes with up to 1 million points in real time.
// 32 REAL-TIME EFFECTS
All effects run live on the GPU with instant feedback.
RAW · FOG · SLICE · CONTOUR · ECHO · BLOOM · FALSE COLOR · WIRE · DUST · WAVE · LINES · SWARM · VEIL · PRISM · RIFT · BORE · DRIFT
Transform images into atmospheric fog banks, swarming particle fields, prismatic distortions, structural wireframes, abstract landscapes, and glitch artifacts.
//SIGNAL LOSS
Every photograph contains missing information. Areas the camera never saw.
Signal Loss reconstructs those spaces using procedural particles, atmospheric noise, and generated structure. Choose subtle reconstruction or push scenes into abstraction through multiple artifact modes designed around absence, depth, and collapse.
// DRIFT
Animate entire point clouds with procedural motion.
Create flowing currents, depth-reactive movement, spiraling fields, and organic motion that turns static images into living environments.
// CAMERA MOVES & VIDEO EXPORT
Signal Loss was built for motion.
Create cinematic animations using built-in camera paths including Orbit, Pull In, Pull Out, Sway, Crane, and other movement systems designed specifically for point clouds.
Export:
• 4K and 8K stills
• High-resolution video loops (H.264)
• Transparent PNGs with alpha
• Point clouds (PLY) for Blender, MeshLab, and CloudCompare
• Spatial stereoscopic scenes for Apple Vision Pro
// CONTROLS
Touch-driven navigation with precise creative control.
Adjust density, scale, depth, color, atmosphere, and filter parameters in real time. Customize backgrounds, camera behavior, and scene rendering to create anything from subtle depth photography to fully abstract particle environments.
// PRIVACY
Everything happens on your device.
Photos are processed locally and never uploaded to a server.
Signal Loss is experimental creative software. Unexpected results are part of the process.
SIGNAL LOSS 2.0
ISOLATE - carve your point cloud. Paint-select with a brush or slice by depth, then delete what doesn't belong. Deletions survive mesh changes, and undo has your back. Mark a SUBJECT and the new filters know exactly what your image is about.
SIX NEW FILTERS - SHARD shatters your photo into floating crystalline fragments. ORB wraps it onto a planet, depth as terrain. BECOME dissolves the world and rebuilds your subject from its own matter. SPIRIT lifts your subject's soul out of its body on threads of light. UNRAVEL unknits the photograph — and heals it in its own wake. SILK sets the image drifting on elastic spider-threads. Thirty-six filters in all.
PRESETS - save your look. Every slider across mesh, filter, loss, camera, and motion in one tap. Export and import as JSON.
PROJECTS - save whole scenes: photo, depth, settings, carving, camera. Organize with folders.
ALSO - redesigned dialogs throughout, tighter layouts on smaller iPhones, and hardened project-file loading.
