QiLing Tools🏙️Tilt-Shift Photo Effect Online - Make Miniature Scenes
Tilt-shift photography makes real cities look like tabletop models: only a narrow strip is sharp and everything above and below gradually blurs, so your brain reads the scene as a small object shot up close. This tool fakes the effect on any photo. Click the preview to set the focus centre, then adjust the focus size, transition and blur strength; the sharp area can be a horizontal band (with adjustable angle) or a circle. Blur grows with distance from the focus, and a colour boost strengthens the toy look. Streets, traffic, squares and city blocks shot from high up work best.

FAQ
- Why doesn't my photo look like a model?
- The effect works best on scenes shot from high up with lots of small people and vehicles. Eye-level shots and close portraits end up looking like ordinary background blur.
- Can I keep just one object sharp?
- Yes — switch the focus area to Circle, click the object in the preview and adjust the focus size.
- Are my files uploaded?
- No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.
- Do I need to sign up or pay?
- No. The site is completely free, needs no account, has no usage limits and adds no watermark.
