Upload a selfie or group photo and turn it into a 2000s digital camera snapshot with hard flash, soft CCD colour and a little grain. Pick from 8 digicam looks, choose how strong it is and add an orange date stamp if you like. Your face stays exactly the same; only the camera look changes.
8 digicam looks
Night flash, day flash, red flash, golden hour, sparkle flash, 2000s webcam, zoom camera flash and soft CCD. Try a few on the same photo for an Instagram photo dump.
Why the digicam look is back
Old compact cameras gave photos a hard flash, slightly washed colour and a candid feel that phone cameras smooth away. This filter adds those signs back to a normal phone photo.
Tips for the best result
Indoor and night photos look most real with the flash looks. Use a photo where faces are not covered, and pick Subtle if you want it to pass as a real camera photo.
More retro camera looks
More looks: digicam filter, Y2K filter, disposable camera filter, film filter, Polaroid-style filter, photo booth filter and vintage photo filter all work the same way on your photo.
Questions
What is a digicam filter?
It makes a phone photo look like it came from a small 2000s digital camera, with direct flash, soft colour, light noise and sometimes a date stamp.
Which look should I pick?
Night flash is the classic party snapshot. Day flash and golden hour suit outdoor photos. 2000s webcam gives the low-res laptop selfie look.
Will it change my face?
No. The tool is told to keep your face, hair, skin tone, expression, pose and clothes exactly the same and to change only the camera look: light, colour, grain and flash.
Can I add a date stamp?
Yes. Pick the orange date stamp and a small retro date appears in the lower right corner, like old cameras printed.
Is it free?
Yes, you can try it for free and download or share the result.
