Digital camera app for iPhone: shoot like an old digicam

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

Short answer: Selfie shoots the retro digital camera 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 retro digital camera look

The retro-digicam aesthetic sits between film and modern phones: CCD-sensor colors that lean teal and magenta, hard flash, modest resolution and honest imperfection. It reads warmer and more candid than today’s computational photos.

How to get it in Selfie

Selfie models the era with its Digital shelf — Compact, Micro, Vlog and Retro presets, each tuned to a different digicam personality — rendered live in the viewfinder for photos and video.

The dual-camera twist

No 2003 digicam had a second camera. Selfie shoots the digicam look with front and back simultaneously — the scene and the photographer, both looking straight out of an old SD card.

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 retro digital camera 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.
