35mm camera app for iPhone: the classic film look

You want the 35mm film look on an iPhone — without carrying a second camera or editing every shot afterwards in a filter app.

Short answer: Selfie shoots the 35mm film look live: pick the preset, frame, shoot. Filters render in the viewfinder before you capture — on photos and videos, and even with the front and back cameras at the same time.

What makes the 35mm film look

35mm is the definitive film aesthetic: visible but fine grain, natural contrast, colors that lean warm or slightly faded depending on the stock, and the occasional light leak or soft corner.

How to get it in Selfie

The 35mm shelf is Selfie’s largest — over twenty presets modeled on classic SLRs, rangefinders, compacts and a disposable, from an AE-1-style SLR look to toy-camera and noir black-and-white variants.

The dual-camera twist

Every 35mm preset works in dual mode: the same stock renders on the front and back camera at once, so both halves of the shot look like they came off the same roll.

Frequently asked questions

Do I apply the filter before or after shooting? Before — the preset renders live in the viewfinder, and the saved photo or video matches the preview. There is no separate editing step.

Does it work for video? Yes. Presets apply to video recording as well, including dual front-and-back video with sound.

Can I use it with both cameras at once? Yes — that’s Selfie’s core feature. The 35mm film preset applies to the front and back camera simultaneously in picture-in-picture layout.

What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
