Drag the two blue points on the image to define the focus line. Areas perpendicular to this line will blur gradually.

What is Tilt Shift Effect?

Tilt shift creates miniature model effect by applying selective blur to images. The effect mimics tilt shift photography lenses that control depth of field. Define a horizontal focus band while areas above and below blur progressively creating toy camera miniature appearance. Perfect for cityscapes, landscapes, and aerial photography transformed into tiny diorama-like scenes.

How to Create Tilt Shift Miniature Effect

Upload your photo to begin adding tilt shift blur. Drag two control points to define the sharp focus band - typically centered on your subject. Adjust blur strength from 0 (subtle) to 50 (extreme miniature effect) controlling how blurred out-of-focus areas appear. Increase gradient size for smoother transition between sharp and blurred regions. Best results use photos shot from elevated angles looking down at subjects similar to viewing miniature models.

Tilt Shift vs Regular Blur Effects

Tilt shift blur differs from regular blur by creating selective focus band with gradual falloff. Traditional blur affects entire image uniformly while tilt shift maintains sharp horizontal band mimicking shallow depth of field from specialized lenses. The miniature effect works because our brains associate selective focus with macro photography of small objects. Combine with increased saturation for enhanced toy model appearance commonly seen in tilt shift miniature photography.

When to Use Tilt Shift Photography Effect

Apply tilt shift to aerial cityscape photos making buildings look like toy models. Transform landscape photography into miniature dioramas for creative social media posts. Use on sports stadium shots, traffic scenes, or crowded events to create whimsical miniature world effect. Ideal for travel photography adding artistic flair to landmark photos. Real estate aerial photography gains unique perspective. Wedding venue overviews become charming miniature scenes perfect for creative albums and Instagram posts.
