Fix tilted horizons, keystoning, and perspective distortion in architectural and landscape photos.

Intermediate8-12 minutes

Step-by-Step Guide

1

Upload Your Image

Click "Choose Image" and select a photo with perspective distortion, such as buildings or landscapes.

💡 Tip: Works best with images containing straight lines or geometric elements

2

Identify Reference Lines

Look for straight lines in your image that should be horizontal or vertical (like building edges or horizons).

💡 Tip: The tool automatically detects these lines, but you can adjust if needed

3

Set Correction Mode

Choose between automatic correction or manual adjustment using control points.

💡 Tip: Automatic mode works well for most architectural photos

4

Adjust Control Points (Manual Mode)

Drag the corner points to align with the desired perspective correction.

💡 Tip: Imagine where the lines should be if the perspective was perfect

5

Preview the Correction

See how the image looks with the applied perspective correction before finalizing.

💡 Tip: Check that straight lines appear straight and proportions look natural

6

Crop and Refine

Crop out any transparent areas created by the transformation.

💡 Tip: You may need to crop slightly to remove edge artifacts

7

Download Corrected Image

Save your perspective-corrected image in your preferred format.

💡 Tip: JPG is usually sufficient unless you need transparency

💡 Pro Tips

  • Shoot with the camera level to minimize needed corrections
  • Include straight reference lines in your composition
  • Avoid extreme angles that require heavy correction
  • Check the histogram after correction for any exposure issues
  • Use this tool before applying other edits for best results
  • Consider lens correction in camera settings when possible
  • Practice on test shots to understand the correction limits
