## What is 2000s Cam?

Make your photos and videos look like a memory.

2000s Cam puts 59 retro cameras in your iPhone: camcorders, 2000s digicams, film cameras, the first camera phones, and a security cam. Shoot with the look live in the viewfinder, or give photos and videos you already have the same treatment.

FLASH THAT LOOKS REAL
Flash: the on-camera pop that lights your subject while the night falls away behind them, in a Warm or Classic tone.
Digital Flash: the 2004 point-and-shoot look, a bright subject on a near-black background.
Both find the subject in your photo, so it works on any shot.

59 RETRO CAMERAS
Camcorders: VHS Camcorder, Hi8 Dream, MiniDV '05, Tape DV '01, Party Cam
Digicams: CCD 6.0, Cyber '03, Blue CCD, Pocket CCD, Cheap Digicam
Film: Portrait 400, SLR '79, Luxe Compact, Cinema 500T, Slide Film, Infrared, Street Mono, Super 8, 16mm Reel, Projector, Fun Flash, Snap Disposable
Phones: classic Nokias, the RAZR, Sony Ericsson, the first iPhones, and Galaxy phones
Security: Night CCTV
Each has its own color, grain, and character. Videos even sound like the era.

INSTANT PRINTS AND MULTI-SHOT
Instant Mini, Instant Square, and Film Strip frame your photo like a real print. Half Frame, Quad Lens, and Wiggle 3D shoot a sequence, like the cameras that did it on film.

SHOOT THROUGH COLOR
Red, pink, yellow, green, blue, and purple filters for the film cameras. They work like real glass filters over the lens, not a tint on top.

28 EFFECTS, STACK ANY
Fisheye, Ghost double exposure, Star Filter, Light Leak, Halation, Bloom, Prism, Glitch, CRT, 3D Split, Thermal, 8-Bit, and more. Stack them on any camera, each with its own strength.

7 SIGNATURE LOOKS
Dreamcam: dreamy motion smear and soft glow
Glimmer: star sparkles on every point of light
Prism Haze: rainbow edges and a hazy, distant memory feel
Night Film: cinema film glow around city lights
Super 8: home movie film with flicker, light leaks, and dust
Daydream: sunlit pastel haze
Halloween: pumpkin orange through ground fog and horror-movie shadows
Plus 36 more Looks, including Y2K, Indie Sleaze, Cyberpunk, Disposable, and Polaroid.

A REAL VHS CAMCORDER
Color that bleeds past the edges, tracking noise, and dropout streaks. REC, the tape counter, and the date are recorded into the picture itself, so they age with the tape like the real thing.

EDIT ANY PHOTO OR VIDEO
Every camera, Look, and effect works in the editor too. Photos keep their original resolution, and videos keep their sound.

RETRO DATE STAMPS
The classic orange date, a camcorder overlay, digicam digits, or a CCTV timestamp. Pick the year and make today look like 2003.

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No ads. No data collected. Everything is processed on your iPhone.

FREE TO TRY
Start with 6 free cameras, a few free effects, and one free VHS Camcorder shot, and preview every camera, Look, and effect live. 2000s Cam Pro unlocks every camera, Look, and effect, and removes the watermark.

Choose a weekly or yearly subscription, or unlock everything forever with a one-time purchase.

### 5/5 — Pure nostalgia

*2026-10-01*

feels like finding an old SD card lol, gives me that One Tree Hill energy 🥹

### 3/5 — Bug

*2026-08-25*

Good app overall. Just has a problem where parts of the audio skips a few seconds and makes it out of sync.

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, definitely shouldn’t be doing that. Can you shoot me an email at support@2000s.camera with your device and what camera model you were using? Would help a lot in tracking it down.

### 4/5 — buggy but i like this app

*2026-08-24*

i’ve been searching for a 2000s cam app for a while but they all cost money n stuff with a bunch of limits unless you pay,, tbh, the app is a bit glitchy but you don’t have limited recordings, and there’s 6 free cameras from dif phones !! and to unlock all the other cameras it’s literally just 5 dollars.
i just wish the audio was also old w/ the videos but it’s fine cuz i kan just edit it
something annoying is that ig my phone doesn’t sense it’s recording or something bcz my screen constantly tries to turn off while i’m recording and it messes up the recording
other then that i’m gnna keep using ts app i don’t mind the bugs im js glad i can record and take photos as much as i want and there’s a bunch of free cameras unlike the other apps
also there’s no ads yayyayay

**Developer response:** Sorry about that, definitely shouldn’t be doing that. Can you shoot me an email at support@2000s.camera with your device and what camera model you were using? Would help a lot in tracking it down.

I’ll also look into adding old-ish audio per camera model.

Thank you.

### 1/5 — 😡😡

*2026-08-16*

video doesn’t even work. don’t down

**Developer response:** Sorry, that's my bad — if the mic permission was off, videos recorded but never saved. Fixed in the next update. Thanks for the heads up, and hope you'll give it another go.
