Swirl
Pixels are rotated around a center by an angle that falls off with distance, twisting the picture into a vortex. It is a classic funhouse-mirror distortion in photo apps.
Spot it
- 01Twisted spiral center
- 02Smooth whirlpool curves
- 03Undistorted outer edges
Why it happens
Every pixel is sampled from a point rotated about the center by an angle that is largest near the center and shrinks to zero at a chosen radius.

Image edit prompt“Apply a swirl distortion to the center of this image: the middle twisted into a strong spiral vortex, the twist fading smoothly to nothing toward the edges, stretched curved details, smooth interpolation with no holes. Keep the original subject and composition as recognizable as possible.”
