Depthly
Depthly is an AI depth studio that turns any flat shot into a cinematic portrait - focus, light and lens, fully in your hands. All on-device.
Before / After
Drag the line. This is a real edit, straight out of Depthly's pipeline: the whole crew detected as individual subjects and kept tack-sharp on the beam, while an on-device depth map melts Manhattan into cinematic blur - and brings the black-and-white original back in full color.
The Studio
Depthly detects every person and object in the frame as its own subject. Tap a chip to keep someone tack-sharp, tap again to send them into the blur - you direct the scene, one subject at a time.
Bokeh is just the beginning. Switch the character of the blur itself - creamy lens, soft gaussian, streaking motion, explosive zoom or miniature tilt-shift - and dial it from sharp to dreamy.
Not filters - optics. Each lens renders bokeh with its own aperture geometry: the gentle wash of a 35mm, ringed 50mm and 85mm highlights, oval anamorphic streaks, swirly petals. Highlights bloom the way glass would bloom them.
Because Depthly knows the 3D shape of your subject, it can move the light. Drag a key light around your portrait, warm it up, add a rim glow - golden hour on demand, months after you pressed the shutter.
Smart tools
Depth is where it starts. Tap in a model to restore, clean up or restyle any shot - the same on-device AI that brought the crew above back in color. Each tool is an optional download, so you only carry what you use.
Bring black-and-white and faded photos back to life.
Upscale soft or small shots and sharpen fine detail.
Heal scratches, creases and damage on old prints.
Erase an object or person - the gap fills itself in.
Wipe grain from low-light and high-ISO shots.
Cut through haze and fog for clear, punchy contrast.
Erase blocky compression from over-shared images.
Turn any photo into a clean line drawing.
Live motion
The depth map isn't only for blur. Export a Live clip and the camera glides through your photo in 3D - the subject floating free of the background - ready to post straight from your phone.
Every step - depth mapping, subject detection, masking, blur and relight - runs on Depthly's own AI models, entirely on your device. No uploads, no cloud processing, no account required. It even works in airplane mode.
Depth blur and core lenses are free, forever. Go Pro when you want the whole studio.

Depthly is an AI depth studio for iPhone. It builds a 3D depth map of any photo on-device, isolates your subject with a precise mask, and lets you control focus, lens character and lighting - turning flat shots into cinematic portraits.
Yes - that's the point. Depthly generates depth for any photo: old shots, screenshots, scans, photos from any camera. No Portrait Mode capture required.
Yes. Depthly detects every person and object as an individual subject - tap to keep them sharp or send them into the blur. The blur itself comes in five styles: Lens, Gaussian, Motion, Zoom and Tilt-shift.
No - it's a full on-device photo studio. Beyond depth blur, smart tools colorize black-and-white photos, enhance and upscale detail, restore scratched old prints, magic-fill objects out, denoise, dehaze, remove JPEG artifacts and turn photos into sketches. Each is an optional download that runs entirely on your iPhone.
No. Depthly runs its own local AI models - all depth mapping, subject detection, masking and rendering happens on your device, even offline. Your photos never leave your phone. Read the full privacy policy.
Depthly is free to start - depth blur and core lenses are included. Depthly Pro unlocks the full depth plane, all five lenses, relight, scenes and watermark-free 4K export.
