Star Trail Stacker

Creative · free · runs in your browser

Combine a sequence of night sky frames into one star-trail image. Every pixel keeps its brightest value across the frames (lighten blend); the comet option fades early frames for tapered trails. Also works for meteor composites.

Runs entirely in your browser — your photos never leave your device. Large batches use a lot of memory — up to about 100 frames at 2000 px works in most browsers.

FAQ

How many frames?
Typically 60–300 frames of 20–30 s each; the trail length depends on total time.
