What Street View does

Transform your photo into a frame from a 2009 street-mapping car camera with a fisheye panorama look, flat colors, and a soft blur patch for faces.

Street View is listed under Photo Effects. It returns a finished still image on this page. Upload Your Photo.

Use it when you want a new treatment of a photo you already have, without reshooting the scene. The preview above is an example of the finished look, not a photo of your file.

How to use Street View

1. Open Street View and watch the preview so you know the framing you are aiming for.
2. Upload Your Photo. Keep the subject large, sharp, and close to the framing in the preview.
3. Press Generate. Stay on this page; the image appears in the player when it is ready.
4. Open the image, then save it if you want to post it or send it on.

What you get

Street View ends as a still image you can open on this page. Your upload supplies the subject. The effect supplies the styling described above.

Tips for a better Street View

• Use the clearest file you have. Soft focus, tiny subjects, and heavy filters give the effect less to work with.
• Match the preview: if the sample is a close-up, crop in; if it is a wide scene, keep the surroundings.
• Compare your file with the preview on this page before you generate. Street View follows that framing and that mood.
