Bend your photo like a real camera lens — right in the browser. Image Machine's lens distortion tool gives you a single slider that runs from a dramatic fisheye / barrel bulge to a pincushion pinch. Push it positive for a wide-angle, action-camera warp where the centre swells and straight lines curve outward; pull it negative to squeeze the corners in or to flatten the curvature a wide lens baked into your shot. Everything is computed locally with smooth, alpha-aware sampling, so edges stay clean and your image is never uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between barrel and pincushion distortion?
Barrel distortion makes the centre of the image bulge outward so straight lines bow away from the middle — the classic fisheye or wide-angle look. Pincushion distortion is the opposite: the corners are pulled inward and lines bow toward the centre. Drag the slider right for barrel, left for pincushion.
Can I use this to correct fisheye or wide-angle distortion?
Yes. Wide-angle and action-camera lenses add barrel distortion, so applying a moderate pincushion (negative) amount pulls the bulge back and straightens bowed horizons and walls. Nudge the slider toward pincushion until straight edges look straight again.
Will the effect crop or stretch my image?
The output keeps the exact dimensions of your original. Areas pushed past the frame replicate the nearest border pixel instead of leaving a hole, so you get a clean edge with no transparent gaps. For a pure circular fisheye look you can always crop afterward.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire distortion is computed in your browser with the Canvas API — your photo never leaves your device, there is no sign-up, and the tool keeps working offline once the page has loaded.
