FreeLiquify
Warp pixels like soft clay: nudge a smile, slim a line, bloat the eyes or twirl a swirl, then paint back the original wherever you went too far. Free, unlimited, and your photos never leave your device.

01Brushes
Liquify opens full-window with its own zoomable canvas. Every brush has a one-key shortcut, plus size, density, pressure and rate, and pen pressure if you draw with a stylus.

05The guide
Liquify moves pixels instead of changing their colour, like pushing wet paint. Photographers use it for small corrections: smoothing a bulge in a shirt, straightening a wobbly line, tidying a hairline or the outline of a product. It is also a playful photo warp tool for caricatures, a twirl effect or big cartoon eyes. Open it from Filter ▸ Liquify… and the photo opens in its own workspace.
Forward Warp (W) pushes pixels along with the brush. Pucker (S) pulls them towards the centre and the Bloat tool (B) pushes them outwards for as long as you hold. Twirl Clockwise (C) spins the area, with Alt for anticlockwise, and Push Left (O) shifts pixels sideways as you drag up or down. Smooth (E) evens out ripples and Reconstruct (R) paints the original back.
The brush has Size, Density, Pressure and Rate, and Pen pressure can be switched on for a tablet. A large brush with low pressure gives the most natural way to reshape a photo. Work in several light strokes rather than one long drag, and use Fit on screen to judge the shape at normal size.
Freeze Mask (F) paints a red overlay over anything that should stay put, such as an eye next to a cheek you are reshaping, or a straight wall beside a figure. Thaw Mask (D) removes it, and Thaw all clears everything. The Freeze menu can also protect a whole layer, or everything outside one, so a cutout made with Select subject becomes an instant mask for a face warp or a body edit.
Show mesh draws the warp grid so you can see exactly what moved, and Show original as backdrop lets you compare against the untouched photo. Restore all starts again. With Warp layers too switched on, cutout layers follow the warp so they stay on the object. Press OK to apply the warp as one step you can undo. Liquify online in CutLift is free and runs on your device.
