Drag the blue point to set the center. Use negative angles for counter-clockwise, positive for clockwise rotation.
Swirl effect creates spiral rotation distortion twisting images around a center point. Clockwise rotation uses positive angle values creating right-spinning vortex patterns. Counter-clockwise rotation uses negative angles for left-spinning twirl effects. Perfect for artistic photo manipulation, creative portraits, psychedelic effects, or dynamic motion illusions. Adjustable radius controls affected area size while angle determines rotation intensity from subtle 45° twist to extreme 360° spiral.
Upload your image and drag the blue control point to desired center location - typically faces, eyes, objects, or focal points for maximum impact. Adjust angle slider from -360° (maximum counter-clockwise) through 0° (no effect) to 360° (maximum clockwise). Increase radius from 50 to 500 pixels controlling size of twisted area. Combine center positioning with angle and radius for precise creative control over spiral rotation effects producing anything from subtle motion blur to dramatic vortex transformations.
Clockwise swirl rotates image content rightward creating natural spinning motion familiar from whirlpools and tornadoes. Counter-clockwise swirl rotates leftward producing reverse spiral effect. Both directions maintain smooth rotational gradient from center to edge radius. Combine with strategic center placement - eyes for hypnotic portraits, flowers for dynamic nature shots, objects for motion emphasis. Social media content benefits from dramatic 180-270° swirls while subtle 30-60° angles add professional motion blur.
Apply swirl to faces for artistic portrait effects creating dreamy or psychedelic looks. Product photography uses controlled swirl drawing attention and adding motion dynamics. Fashion images benefit from fabric and hair swirl creating flowing movement illusion. Creative eye photography applies center swirl for mesmerizing hypnotic gaze effects. Abstract art uses extreme 270-360° angles for dramatic vortex patterns. Album covers and poster designs incorporate swirl for retro psychedelic aesthetic. Meme creation and social media content uses exaggerated swirl for comedic or surreal impact.
Export swirl images at full resolution using WebGL GPU acceleration for smooth spiral gradients without pixelation. PNG format preserves fine rotation details and color transitions perfect for transparent backgrounds. JPEG maintains effect quality at 40-60% reduced file size ideal for social media sharing. WebP offers optimal 30-45% compression versus PNG while preserving smooth spiral transitions and professional distortion quality. All formats maintain original image dimensions ensuring print-ready output up to 4096x4096 resolution.
