Understanding polar coordinates effect

Polar coordinate mapping wraps rectangular image coordinates into a circular arrangement.

Prepare matching left and right edges to reduce a visible join.

A practical workflow

  1. Choose the required source files, if any. Files are handled as stated in the workspace privacy label.
  2. Set the available controls and apply the operation.
  3. Compare the actual output, check its dimensions and download the generated file.

Decisions and limitations

  • Strength (%)
  • Radius or pattern size (pixels)
  • Center from left (%)
  • Center from top (%)

16 megapixels maximum. Artistic treatments are algorithmic approximations with adjustable settings. Exported PNGs are flattened. For two-image operations, the second image must match the first image dimensions.
