What Nception is
Nception is a freemium iPhone app for creating videos and still photos with real-time reality-distortion effects and color looks. It offers 33 distortion effects and 36 color looks, which can be re-edited non-destructively on videos and photos. Media made in other apps can be imported for additional treatment. The app shoots, edits, and exports in standard or square formats. The maker lists slow motion, recording at 24, 30, 60, and 120 frames per second, and 4K on supported iPhones. Photos can be exported with lossless compression. The App Store requires iOS 16.6 or later. Nception is free to download with a free plan; an option to unlock all effects and looks is listed, without a price. Hugekids AB in Sweden is the provider, and email support is available.
