Transform your photos in a click

This little app is great – it looks good and adds fun, easy effects to your photos. It’s also got basic editing tools, so with a bit of time and effort, you can really make some fantastic art out of your images.

Flare is really simple to use. Drag and drop your image into the interface, apply one of the 30 presets and, if you want to, use the tools under Edit to add more effects or customize the ones you have already applied.

Flare also offers some basic editing tools along the bottom that allow you to crop or rotate your image. When you’re done, use Flare to publish your mini work of art to Flickr, iPhoto or send in an email. If you’re dying for a taste of Instagram while you’re on your Mac, Flare is the perfect app for you!

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
