## What is PaperCam?

■ Snap the world through a hand-drawn paper camera

PaperCam recreates the viral "paper camera" trend as a real app. Hold up a doodled paper camera, line up your shot inside the little window, and tap the shutter — your photo comes out framed as a paper-camera picture. Then redraw the window into warm, hand-drawn art in seconds. It's the travel-diary aesthetic all over your feed.

■ What you can do
• 17 hand-drawn camera frames — Original, Classic, Cute, Instant, Vintage, Hearts, Y2K, Film, Deco, Bear, Flip phone, and colorful marker styles
• 15 AI art styles: three Korean-webtoon looks (gag, romance, slice-of-life), plus Colored pencil, Ghibli-style, Watercolor, Plushie, Sticker, MS Paint, Toddler crayon, 3D Character, Paper-cut, Cubist, Animal, and Food
• Share a "reveal video" that turns your snapshot into the drawing
• Halftone print mode that looks pressed onto paper — offline, with no limits
• A realistic hand overlay so it looks like someone is really holding the paper camera (toggle on/off)
• Save to your Photos library or share straight to your socials

■ Perfect for
- Travel photos that deserve a diary-page vibe
- Cute couple, pet, and friend shots
- Standing out on TikTok, Instagram, and your story feed

■ How it works
1. Point the camera and frame your subject inside the paper window
2. Tap the shutter to capture it as a paper-camera picture
3. Pick a frame, or tap "Redraw with AI" for a new art style
4. Tap Save to keep it, or Share to post it

■ Free and paid
You get 3 AI drawings a day for free. PaperCam Pro (weekly) raises that to 7 a day and saves without a watermark, and credit packs let you top up just what you need without subscribing. Print mode and reveal videos are always free.

■ Private by design
Nothing is saved unless you tap Save. Redrawing with AI is optional: the first time you use it, PaperCam shows exactly what is sent and to whom, and only after you agree does the cropped window image leave your phone to be restyled. Pixels outside the window never leave the device. No account, no tracking, no ads.

■ Subscription details
PaperCam Pro (Weekly) is an auto-renewable subscription: $2.99 per week after a 3-day free trial. It gives you up to 7 AI drawings a day and watermark-free HD saving. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase, and the subscription renews automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it anytime in your App Store account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you purchase a subscription. Credit packs are one-time purchases and do not renew.

*2026-07-29*

정말 획기적이고 좋습니다. 앞으로 감성사진이나 뜻깊은 추억사진으로 잘 남길거 같아요. 근데 한번 찍고나니 그 뒤로 오류가 떠서 AI변환이 안돼요!

**Developer response:** 많은 분들이 다운받을거라 생각 못하고 ㅠ 무료로 풀었는데 제가 설정한 유료api한도가 금방 도달해버렸네요 ㅠㅠ

다음 업데이트때 최대한 많은 분들이 불편함 없이 쓸수있게 개선됩니다!
