Time Warp Scan is the viral time warp filter that turns your camera into a face scan. The glowing blue line filter sweeps across the screen and freezes your picture row by row. Move as it passes and your face stretches, twists and melts into a funny photo or video to share.

Why Time Warp Scan:

Quick start: no sign-up. Camera access is needed, and the microphone is used only when you record video with sound.

Real-time effects that render live on your phone.

Photo and video: record your scans with sound and catch every reaction.

Timer and line colours, some of them locked.

Ads appear after some saves, never before your first scan.

Private by design: each face scan is processed on your device, and camera frames, photos and videos are never uploaded. Anonymous usage and ad-measurement data go to measurement partners; ad measurement can be turned off in Settings.

10 warp effects:

Classic: the blue line filter sweeps down the picture.

Side Scan: a vertical line sweeps from left to right.

Waterfall: your face pours down the screen like a stream.

Mirror: your face mirrors itself for a perfectly symmetric look.

Big Face: a funny bulge lens that makes your nose and eyes huge.

Rise: the scan climbs from the bottom of the screen.

Rewind: the scan starts from the right.

Split Freeze: two lines burst out from the middle.

Diagonal: a slanted scan line cuts across.

Time Tunnel: the past slides down the screen live.

A locked effect can be tried once by watching a short video ad.

Time Warp Scan: how to use it:

1. Pick an effect and a line colour.

2. Tap the button and get ready while the timer counts down.

3. Move your face, hands or body as the line passes.

4. Save to your gallery or share it.
