Photo & Video

Star Stacker

Combine sequences of night-sky photographs into star-trail images or time-lapse videos with several trail effects.

Our take

Choose for processing an existing astrophotography sequence.

Trail styles and video output provide alternatives from the same set of images.

Keep in mind: Image size is constrained by device memory, and warp effects can distort a foreground that needs later editing.

What you can do

  • Full, faded and shooting-star trails
  • Warp and javelin effects
  • Time-lapse video export

Good for

  • Photographers processing captured star sequences.

Consider alternatives for

  • People expecting the app to capture an entire night automatically.

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 17.0.
  • Image size is constrained by device memory, and warp effects can distort a foreground that needs later editing.
