Why OldCam

The early-digital look, without the old camera.

See it before you shoot

The look runs live in the viewfinder as you move, so the photo you take is the photo you saw. 11 looks, any look on any camera.

Instant prints

4 instant cameras frame the shot as the print, then it develops on screen and is saved with its border.

CCD-style character

Highlights that clip like an old JPEG, color fringes, blotchy shadow noise, sharpening halos and the burned-in '07 09 30 date stamp.

Camcorder mode

Record VGA movies with sound in the same look, like a 2005 digicam's movie mode. A one-time $7.99 unlock.

The cameras

4 digicams and 4 instant cameras.

What is OldCam?

OldCam is a camera app for iPhone and Android that makes your photos look like they came from a 2000s digital camera or an instant camera: CCD-style color, grain, blown highlights, a slight vignette and an amber date stamp. Pick one of 8 cameras and 11 looks, and you see the look live in the viewfinder before you shoot.

Is OldCam free?

Yes. OldCam is free to download and The Original camera is free to use with every setting. You can try every other camera and look live in the viewfinder; OldCam Pro lets you shoot with them for $9.99 a year (with a 14-day free trial) or $3.99 a month. Free photos carry a small OldCam mark.

Does OldCam edit photos I already took?

Not yet. OldCam processes photos as you take them with its camera. Applying the look to photos from your library is planned.

Where are my photos saved?

Every photo is saved to your iPhone's camera roll and to an album called OldCam. You can also review them in the app's own gallery.

Your phone, now a 2000s digicam.
