How to use this effect
Upload a photo, adjust the Anamorphic Light Streak intensity, compare the preview, and download the finished result.
Why use the Anamorphic Light Streak effect?
Designed to look intentional
The renderer uses highlight extraction with a horizontal anamorphic point-spread convolution instead of applying an unrelated generic color preset.
Fast, adjustable workflow
A reduced preview keeps adjustments responsive; the original resolution is rendered only when you download.
Secure processing
Uploads are processed on secure servers and automatically removed under the normal Pixoate retention policy.
Processing and credits
This effect runs through the CPU photo pipeline and does not consume an AI credit.
Best for
portraits, nightlife, travel photography, album artwork, and cinematic social posts.
