## What is Hotshot?

Hotshot is the camera that makes every photo perfect, automatically.

Take a shot — or import one — and Hotshot's AI develops it on the spot: fixing the lighting, applying an aesthetic that's made to be posted, and removing clutter and photobombers. No editing skills needed.

IT WAS NEVER YOU. IT WAS THE LIGHTING.
Bad photos are a lighting problem, not a you problem. Hotshot relights every shot so skin glows and colors snap — like the best party-flash photo you've ever taken.

SIGNATURE STYLES
• HOTSHOT — our signature look: a crisp direct-flash pop
• FILM — warm, editorial 35mm color
• PAPARAZZI, POLAROID 600, Y2K DIGICAM, GOLDEN HOUR and more
Every style comes with before/after previews so you know the vibe before you shoot.

SHOOT NOW, DEVELOP IN THE BACKGROUND
One tap and your shot develops while you keep shooting. You get a notification the moment it's ready.

ONLY WHAT BELONGS
Photobombers, clutter, mess — removed automatically.

PRIVACY FIRST
Your photos are processed securely and automatically deleted from our servers within 14 days. Nothing is ever posted or shared unless you do it.

SUBSCRIPTION & PURCHASES
Hotshot is free to use: all FILTERS (on-device film looks) are free and unlimited, plus you get free AI shots every day. Hotshot Pro is an optional auto-renewing subscription (weekly or yearly) that adds more AI shots and extra styles; additional AI shots are also available as one-time purchases. Prices are shown in the app before you buy, and subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period — manage or cancel anytime in your App Store account settings.
