Frequently Asked Questions

Find answers to common questions about our thermal camera and night vision effects

Is this a real thermal camera?

No, this is a simulated visual effect that transforms your photos to look like thermal imaging. It does not measure actual temperature or use infrared sensors. Our app creates artistic thermal-style visuals based on the brightness and color information in your photos.

Does it use real infrared technology?

No, standard smartphone cameras and this web tool do not have infrared sensors. The effects are artistic simulations that create thermal-style and night vision-style visuals based on brightness and color information in your photos. True thermal imaging requires specialized infrared sensors that are not present in consumer smartphones.

Can I use it to see in complete darkness?

No, this is not hardware night vision. The night vision effect enhances existing images but cannot create visibility in total darkness. Your camera still needs some ambient light to capture an image first. The effect is applied to existing photos or video, not used to capture images in darkness.

Do you store my photos?

No, all image processing happens locally in your browser or on your device. Your photos are never uploaded to our servers. Your privacy is completely protected. We don't collect, store, or have access to any of your images.

What's the difference between the web tool and mobile app?

The web tool lets you apply effects to existing images - you upload a photo and download the processed result. The mobile app provides real-time camera effects and video recording, allowing you to capture photos and videos with thermal and night vision styles as you shoot. The app is perfect for live content creation.

What image formats are supported?

The web tool supports common image formats including JPG, PNG, and WebP. Maximum file size is 10MB for optimal performance. For best results, use high-quality images with good lighting and contrast.

Is the app free?

Yes! The web demo is completely free with HD downloads. The mobile app offers free basic features with optional in-app purchases for premium features like 4K export, additional filters, and watermark removal.

Which devices are supported?

The web tool works on any modern browser (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge) on desktop, tablet, or mobile. The mobile app is currently available for iOS (iPhone and iPad) with Android support coming soon.

Can I use the effects for commercial purposes?

Yes, you can use images created with our app for personal and commercial projects. However, please ensure you have the rights to the original photos you're processing. The thermal effects themselves are free to use commercially.

How do I get the best results?

For best results, use high-resolution images with good contrast and clear subjects. Photos with distinct temperature differences (conceptually) work best - for example, people against backgrounds, or objects with varying colors. Adjust the intensity slider to find the perfect balance for your image.
