Pixel World — people rebuilt in little cubes.
Pixel World breaks the subject into flying cubes and rebuilds them as a chunky, block-built figure. The sample is a reel of two runs. It opens on a woman with long curly dark hair and red-framed glasses, wearing a red and cream striped jumper over a white collar, seated in front of a peach backdrop.
The sample
What happens in the Pixel World sample.
In the first run, the woman sits with her hands on her knees. She tips her head down, curls flying, as orange cubes spray out, then comes up with a square face, square red glasses and a wide grin, her jumper now built from blocks. The second run opens on four women posing in long gowns in dark blue, green, pink and gold against a grey backdrop. Cubes burst around them, and they turn into boxy figures in the same four colours, standing close together.
Colours and poses carry over in both runs: the stripes, glasses and curly hair in the first, and each gown's colour in the second. Faces become simple squares with small eyes, and fine details like beading and lace become flat blocks. The camera holds still. One run opens on a front-facing seated portrait and the other on a group standing in a row, so either kind of photo matches the sample.

Your photo
Photos that suit it.
One-tap effects have one input. The photo you pick is your creative control.
Strong colours carry over
The striped jumper and the four gown colours stay recognisable as blocks. Bold, distinct colours give the figures their look.
Solo or group
One woman alone and four women together both appear in the sample, so either a portrait or a group photo fits.
Bold features stand out
Her glasses and curly hair turned into clear block shapes in the first run, so bold features like these give the figure character.

What does the Pixel World effect do?
A reel of two runs. A woman in a striped jumper and red glasses, then four women in coloured gowns, break into flying cubes and become chunky block figures.
Can Pixel World turn a group photo into block figures?
The sample includes a group. Its second run starts with four women in long gowns in dark blue, green, pink and gold, and all four turn into boxy block figures in matching colours at the same time. The first run shows a single woman in a striped jumper.
