How To Use Pixlr's Polar Coordinate Effect

Step #1

Visit Pixlr.com and choose Pixlr E, the advanced editing tool. Click "Open Image" to import the image you want to apply the polar coordinate effect to. Once it's loaded, make sure the "Layers" panel is visible.

Step #2

To create a seamless polar coordinate effect, go to "Adjustment" on the top toolbar, then "Canvas Size". Increase the width of the canvas to double its current value. Next, duplicate the image layer by right-clicking the layer and selecting "Duplicate Layer".

Step #3

Select the duplicated layer, then click "Edit" > "Transform" > "Flip Horizontal". Move the flipped image to fill the empty space on the canvas. Merge both layers by selecting them and clicking the "Merge Layers" button in the "Layers" panel.

Step #4

Click "Filter" > "Distort" > "Polar Coordinates" in the top toolbar. A dialog box will appear; choose "Rectangular to Polar" and adjust the angle as desired. Click "Apply" to see the effect. You may need to adjust the canvas size again to eliminate empty space.

Step #5

Inspect the image, and if needed, use the "Healing" or "Clone Stamp" tools to fix any imperfections. Once satisfied, click "File" > "Save" and choose your desired file format (JPEG or PNG). Adjust the quality as needed and click "Download" to save your edited image.
