A camera that turns little lights into hearts

Powapowa Camera is an iPhone camera: point it at small lights, like holiday lights, string lights and candles, and watch each one bloom into a heart, star, sakura and more, soft and glowing. It happens live in the viewfinder while you shoot, not as an edit afterwards.

What kind of light works

  • Small, scattered lights work best: holiday lights, city streets at night, candles, sparkles on water.
  • In daylight, too: glints on water, glass and metal.
  • Big signs, neon tubes and very crowded lights may not turn into clean shapes. Step back a little, or drag down on the screen to lower the exposure.
  • Where there is no light, nothing is drawn, so the shapes look like real out-of-focus light rather than stickers.

What's inside

  • 13 shapes: circle, 4-, 6- and 8-point stars, star, sparkle, heart, crescent moon, sakura, flower, butterfly, music note, bunny
