Phone photos are sharp and flat. This film filter adds real-looking grain, film colour and soft highlights so your photo looks shot on an analog camera. Pick one of 5 film looks; the people in the photo stay exactly the same.
Five film looks
Warm film, cool film, 35mm grain, black and white and expired film. The names describe the look; they are not copies of any film brand.
Best photos for the film look
Portraits, travel shots, food and street scenes all work. Subtle is closest to real film; Strong is a clear stylised effect.
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.
