Start building
Choose your platform and follow its quickstart to initialize the SDK, open a processed camera preview, and apply your first visible effect.
If Nosmai Effects is not installed yet, start with the matching installation guide. You also need an app-bound license key from Nosmai Console.
Product capabilities
Nosmai Effects combines adjustable camera controls with protected .nosmai effect packages. Your app owns its interface and media flow while the SDK processes the camera or input frames.
| Capability | What it adds |
|---|---|
| Beauty and makeup | Skin retouching, face shaping, lipstick, eyeshadow, blush, lashes, and brows |
| AR effects | Face masks, stickers, particles, animated overlays, shaders, and 3D content |
| Backgrounds | Blur, colour, image, video, and authored background replacement |
| Camera games | Touch, face-driven, and package-defined input with score and state events |
| Cloud Filters | Browse, download, cache, apply, and remove protected effect packages |
| Capture and output | Processed photos, recordings, frames, textures, and live-streaming output |
| Authored stickers and overlays | Images, text, particles, and animated props included in .nosmai packages |
More than 200 ready-made filters are available through the Nosmai Asset Store. They are delivered separately from the SDK binary and can be bundled with the app or downloaded at runtime through Cloud Filters.
Read filters and effects for package types, parameters, triggers, and effect lifecycle. Read camera games for input, event, lifecycle, and package behaviour.
How it works
Only the processing stages required by the active feature are enabled. Native iOS and Android use GPU-accelerated processing, while Flutter and React Native connect to the same native SDKs through their platform packages.

Before production
- Test camera and rendering behaviour on supported physical ARM64 devices.
- Use the final signed application ID, bundle identifier, or Web origin when creating the license key.
- Keep one active camera owner and release it before opening another camera screen.
- Test the exact
.nosmaipackages used by the application on every target platform. - Measure frame rate, memory, battery, and temperature with the final effects and camera resolution on the intended device range.
Android native releases currently provide arm64-v8a only. The current iOS framework is also intended for physical ARM64 devices and has no Simulator slice. React Native 1.0.0 is supported for its documented compatibility baseline. The Web developer preview does not yet provide full mobile feature parity.
