The short answer
Why use Perspective?
Faking a tilted plane by hand means warping corners in a design app. Two sliders give you the same keystone shape for a mockup or a title card in seconds.
Top inset starts at 12% and Bottom inset at 0%, each from 0 to 45%. The inset is taken from both the left and right side, so 12% at the top leaves a top edge that is 76% of the full width. Rows in between are squeezed by an amount that changes evenly from top to bottom. The height and the canvas size stay the same.
Only the width of each row changes. The image is not shortened vertically, so a strong inset looks like a trapezoid rather than a plane seen at a real angle. Everything outside the new shape is transparent in the PNG, which is handy when you place the result on a background, but a chat app may fill those wedges with black.
Raise Bottom inset instead of Top inset to make the picture lean toward you. Perspective Crop does the reverse job: it takes a photo shot at an angle and makes it flat. For a sideways slant that keeps edges parallel, use Skew, which widens the canvas instead of cutting the corners.
Where Perspective fits
Poster mockups
Make a flat poster look like it leans back against a wall in a mockup.
Title cards
Give a movie-style title a receding look before placing it over a background.
Floor graphics
Narrow the top of a floor sign design to preview how it reads from a standing view.

How to use Perspective
- 01Tap Choose image and pick the flat picture, poster, or screenshot you want to tilt.
- 02Adjust Top inset (starts at 12%) and Bottom inset (starts at 0%), each up to 45%, until the shape leans the way you want.
- 03Tap Apply changes, check the transparent side wedges, then use Download result to save the tilted PNG.

Perspective tips
- A Top inset of 20% with Bottom inset at 0% gives a strong lean-back look.
- Set both insets equal and the image just narrows evenly.
- Keep the PNG; a JPEG would fill the side wedges with a solid color.
- To undo a real camera angle, use Perspective Crop instead.
