Time Warp Scan - Face Scanner

The viral blue-line effect gets a standalone app in Time Warp Scan - Face Scanner, published by Braly JSC. A line sweeps slowly across the camera view, freezing whatever it passes, so a face or body that moves during the scan ends up stretched, squashed or duplicated in comic ways.

The app handles both photos and videos. Users choose the scan direction by swiping right or down, which decides whether the line moves vertically or horizontally, and they can change its speed to allow more or less time for movement. Brightness can be adjusted, and slit-scan style effects are included alongside the classic time warp. Typical uses the listing mentions include reshaping heads, stretching fingers or making hair look shorter. Finished photos and videos are saved and carry no watermark, which matters for anyone posting results online.

The app has a 4.1 average from 38,197 ratings. 68% are five stars, but 17% are one star, a notable minority of dissatisfied users. It has 10,000,000+ installs. The app is free with ads, and in-app purchases range from $0.49 - $9.49 per item. The latest update came on 2026-09-17, Android 7.0 or newer is required, and it is rated Everyone. We list 33 versions; the current 3.7.8 is 56.3 MB.
