How Lapse works

Choose the moments. Lapse aligns the frames.

Import the photos that matter, then choose who the timelapse follows. Lapse detects their face, centers the person from frame to frame, and lines up their eyes. Reorder or remove any moment, set the pace, choose a soundtrack, and preview the whole film before you export.

Bring photos from your device or Google Photos, or take a new picture. Lapse handles the alignment; you control the final cut.

Private by design

Your photos are processed on your device.

Face detection, eye alignment and film rendering all happen on-device. Lapse does not upload the photos you choose to its servers, and no Lapse account is required. If you import from Google Photos, Google handles sign-in and Lapse copies only the photos you explicitly choose into the local project on your device.
