## What is Lettercam?

LetterCam turns everything you see into pictures made of letters -- live, in real time, right in the viewfinder.

Point your camera at anything and watch it redraw itself as a flowing mosaic of type. Spell out your own words, pick a palette, pinch to make the letters bigger or smaller, and capture the moment. Every effect runs on a GPU engine built for buttery-smooth live rendering -- what you see is exactly what you get.

MAKE IT YOURS

• Spell anything -- your name, lyrics, a message -- and watch it tile across the image
• Classic ASCII mode picks characters by brightness, just like old-school terminal art
• Any font on your iPhone, from thin and elegant to heavy and bold, with italics too
• Pinch to zoom the grid from chunky poster letters to ultra-fine detail

COLOR IT ANY WAY

• Image mode: every letter takes the true color of what's beneath it
• Gradient palettes: Matrix, Thermal, Sepia, Cyan Noir, Blueprint, Ember
• Mono mode: one tint you choose, shaded by light
• Flip to ink-on-paper for prints that look hand-typed
• Solid letter blocks for a tile-mosaic look

CAPTURE AND SHARE

• Shoot stills straight from the live letter view
• Import any photo from your library and letterize it
• Export razor-sharp images up to 8K -- perfect for prints and posters
• Save your favorite looks as presets and switch instantly

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

Everything happens on your iPhone. No account, no ads, no tracking -- your photos never leave your device.
LetterCam was one of the original letter-art cameras on the App Store. This is the sequel it deserved: rebuilt from scratch for modern iPhones, with a real-time Metal engine that renders every frame at full speed.
