Vintage camera app for iPhone: 50+ film-era presets

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

Short answer: Selfie shoots the vintage 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 vintage look

The vintage look is everything digital sharpness erased: film grain, softer contrast, warm or faded color shifts, vignetting and imperfect focus. It reads as "a real moment" precisely because it is less clean.

How to get it in Selfie

Selfie ships 50+ vintage camera presets organized like a camera bag: 35mm film SLRs and compacts, medium-format bodies, instant cameras and fun oddballs (VHS, CCTV, thermal). Pick a camera, and the viewfinder itself renders the look live — what you frame is what you get.

The dual-camera twist

Unlike dedicated vintage camera apps, Selfie applies the film look while shooting with the front and back cameras at the same time — a vintage photo of the scene and your reaction to it, in one exposure.

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 vintage 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.
