Half Frame — Shoot Like It's a Roll of Film Half the frame. Twice the story. You've seen those retro digital half-frame cameras everywhere. You've watched the reviews, added one to your cart, hovered over "buy" — and winced at the price of what is, let's be honest, a small sensor in a nostalgic shell. Put your wallet away. That camera you've been dreaming about? It's already in your pocket. Half Frame turns your iPhone into a true half-frame film camera experience — the anticipation, the discipline, the happy accidents — without the overpriced hardware and without ever pretending your photos need to look worse to feel analog. Shoot a roll, not a feed Pick your roll length — 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, or 72 exposures — and commit. There's no gallery to obsess over mid-roll. You frame, you shoot, you move on. Only when the roll is finished (or you cut it early, like rewinding mid-roll) do you get to review your shots, pick the keepers, and develop them to your photo library. If you like, every finished roll becomes its own numbered album — Roll 001, Roll 002, …. One frame, two frames, three True to the half-frame spirit, you don't have to shoot alone: Single — one full frame, all yours. Diptych — two shots, side by side, one story, the half-frame classic. Triptych — a big frame plus two stacked companions. Sequences, contrasts, before-and-after. Choose your format: 3:2, 4:3, cinematic 16:9, or square 1:1. Twelve films in your pocket Swap "film stock" with one tap: Natural — No makeup, just your sensor at its honest best. Vivid — Slide film: punchy, saturated colors that pop off the screen. Classic — 90s negative film with green-shifted foliage and punchy contrast. Gold — Warm everyday film with golden, sun-soaked highlights. Sepia — Warm, faded film for photos that feel like memories. Magenta — The unmistakable color shift of expired film. Faded — Matte retro with softly lifted, blue-tinted blacks. Chrome — Muted, documentary color: cool and restrained, staying out of the way. Cool — A crisp teal-and-orange cinema look for daylight scenes. Tungsten — Night film: glowing lights, teal shadows, bold grain. Silver — Soft monochrome with gentle, quiet tones — the calm counterpart to Black & White. Black & White — Classic monochrome with real film contrast and grain. Star your favorites and they stay at the front of the shelf. Dial in the look Every film brings its own character — you get the knobs anyway. Vignette, halation, and grain, each in three strengths or off. Or leave any of them on Auto and let the film decide. Vignette — darkened corners, from subtle to full retro tunnel. Halation — the red-orange glow film casts around bright lights. Grain — the speckled texture of film, from barely-there to heavy and gritty. Manual soul, modern brain Shutter control — cap your shutter at 1/30 up to 1/2000, or leave it on smart Auto that speeds up as you zoom in. No blurry shots, no exposure homework. Real photographic metadata — every developed picture carries its lens, ISO, shutter speed, aperture, exposure bias, and focal length in EXIF. Full-quality captures — computational photography stays on. You get the film workflow, not the film-era image quality. Tap to focus, pinch to zoom — with a zoom badge that snaps back to 1x on tap. Flash included — one tap, clearly badged when armed. Your dividers, your rules — white or black frame dividers in diptychs and triptychs, from none to extra bold. Keep the originals — optionally save every full exposure alongside the finished diptych or triptych. Available in English, German, Spanish, and French. Who this is for For everyone who fell in love with the idea of half-frame photography — the thrift, the rhythm, the diptychs — but couldn't justify spending premium money on a fashion-forward point-and-shoot with yesterday's internals. Scratch the itch. Keep the money. Shoot the roll. Half Frame. Load a roll. See what develops.
