Browsing through art\u00a0on PicsArt often yields a wide spectrum of images, as far as photo editing is concerned.<\/span><\/p>\n

From simple photo\u00a0effects\u2026<\/p>\n

To full-on surrealist edits…<\/p>\n

But there\u2019s a lot of room for experimentation in between. Sometimes, it\u2019s even hard to tell when a photograph has been altered using PicsArt<\/a> or if it\u2019s actually one of those\u00a0rare, real-life optical illusions. So, today, on April Fools’ Day, we\u2019ve compiled a list of real images that mimic much of what you can do on the app. <\/span><\/p>\n

1. Real-Life\u00a0Resize<\/span><\/h2>\n

Here, you can see that forced perspective has a seagull appearing larger than a human being, and an ant the same size as a helicopter. Phenomenal. It’s easy to create this effect yourself in the photo editor; just use the Add Photo\u00a0Tool\u00a0to place an image, erase the unnecessary parts, resize and away you go!<\/p>\n

2. Real-Life Motion Tool<\/span><\/h2>\n

PicsArt’s Motion Tool is easy and awesome and, strangely enough, can give you an effect that looks very much like this.<\/p>\n

3. Real-Life\u00a0Crop Tool<\/span><\/h2>\n

Again, the Add Photo Tool in the PicsArt photo editor is magnificent when trying to combine photos and create optical illusions. You can give\u00a0anyone a fresh\u00a0pair of legs.<\/p>\n

4. Real-Life Clipart<\/span><\/h2>\n

Cliparts are pre-made stickers that\u00a0bring your photo to life in the app. We’ve got nearly every kind of sticker you can dream of, including planes, birds and otherworldly creations, so\u00a0making\u00a0an image where elements like this align is\u00a0a piece of cake.<\/p>\n

5. Real-Life Stretch\u00a0Tool<\/span><\/h2>\n
\"cool<\/a>
By delgarm<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The\u00a0Stretch Tool allows you to distort\u00a0your image in discrete segments. This means you have the ability to create the illusion of texture in your images. Great for next time you’re trying to rake through a cloudy sky, right?<\/p>\n

At the end of the day, the choice is yours: wait for all the hilarious elements to align to get that perfect April Fools’ Day picture, or\u2026 just go ahead and use PicsArt to make all your wildest optical illusions come to fruition. But don’t forget to share with the hashtag #MadeYaLook. Happy April Fools’ Day!<\/p>\n
