What is ContoursPhoto?
ContoursPhoto is a professional image editing app that goes beyond traditional layer-based workflows, offering creative tools you simply won’t find in other editors.
Alongside a fast, full-featured image editing suite, ContoursPhoto includes a powerful Animation Editor for MOV, MP4, and GIF export—with full audio support. Built on Apple’s SpriteKit, the animation system supports animated sprites, rigs, text, live filters, particle emitters, video nodes, camera pan and zoom, and dynamic lighting.
For vector work, ContoursPhoto features an advanced SVG Trace module designed for logos and illustrations. Traced logo paths are fully editable, with support for custom palettes and automatic palette selection using up to 256 colors.
ContoursPhoto also excels at image deformation and reshaping. Warp tools include Pin Warp, Envelope Warp, and Perspective Warp, while distortion brushes offer bump, pinch, push, and twirl effects with smooth, high-quality results.
Additional creative tools include:
Seamless Texture projects with edge wrapping and center tiling, allowing seams to be brought into view and removed using healing tools that work across tile boundaries
Image Playground integration, with support for uploading background images for more accurate image generation and prompting
A 3D tool with rotation, extrusion depth, and customizable colors and textures
Fully customizable brushes, including stamp- and texture-based brushes alongside traditional painting tools
Advanced selection tools, including automatic selection, edge detection, and refinement controls
Complete pixel, text, and shape tools, with grid, guides, markers, and snapping for precise layout and alignment
An App Icon Generator for creating complete icns files or icon directories
