Description

Back story:I've been learning computer graphics on the side for several years now and gain so much joy from smooshing and stretching images/videos. I hope you can get a little joy as well with Fuzzy Studio!Try applying effects to your camera! My housemates and I have giggled so much making faces with weird effects!Nothing gets sent to the server; everything is done in the browser! Amazing what we can do. I've only tested on macOS... apologies if your browser/OS is not supported (yet).
