Take selfies as your favorite self. VCam Camera is a camera app for 3D avatars. Smile at the camera or move your hands, and your VRM avatar mirrors you in real time. Just open the app, pick a style, and shoot. YOUR AVATAR, RIGHT AWAY • Bring your own VRM (0.x and 1.0). Add it from the Files app, AirDrop, or "Open in", or pick one from VRoid Hub. • Shaders: "MToon" (VRM standard), "VCam" (recommended), or "lilToon Compatible" (holds up in strong light). Blink with both eyes, one eye, or automatically. • A single illustration works too: it's cut out automatically and follows your head. • Tracking stays on your device. No account or sign-in needed. THREE WAYS TO SHOOT • Snap: shoot like a regular camera. With the front camera, your avatar stands in for you while you're hidden from the background; with the back camera, capture the scene in high quality as the front camera tracks you. • AR Camera: place your avatar in the real world and walk around to shoot from any angle. It casts shadows and can hide behind people (and objects on LiDAR devices). • Studio: line up several avatars for a group photo, pose them by dragging their joints, and fix the pose after you shoot. STYLES, POSES, AND ACCESSORIES • Camera styles that finish the shot as you take it: CCD, Film, Instant, Dream, and Night. Plus packs: Light (backlight, neon), Y2K (early-2000s digital cameras), Cinematic, Dreamy (hearts, bubbles, stars), Season (cherry blossoms, snow), Pop (outlines, afterimages), Lens (flares, fisheye), and Retro (VHS, game consoles). Change the style after you shoot. • Poses and expressions with one tap, plus motions like waving for video. • Accessories such as glasses, caps, a black cat headband, and a penlight in your choice of color, or bring in your own as GLB files. • Lighting: set direction, brightness, warmth, and shadow, or match your background automatically. • Frames, date stamp, and your signature. • Backgrounds: the real camera, a photo or video, a solid color, or transparent, with optional blur. Adjust a photo or video's framing and tilt, or share one from Photos. PHOTO, VIDEO, AND GIF • Photos in 9:16, 3:4, 1:1, or 16:9 with self-timer, grid, and level, and video with sound, styles applied live. Trim videos after you shoot. • Short looping meme-style GIFs, with a choice of quality and loop. • Add text after you shoot, from thumbnail headlines to captions and speech bubbles, in any font and color. • Zoom, flash, focus and exposure by tap, and depth-of-field on supported devices. • Shoot with the volume buttons, Camera Control, or by showing your palm to the camera. • Jump in from Siri, Shortcuts, or Control Center. • Photos, videos, and GIFs are saved to your Photos library only when you tap Save. VCAM CAMERA PRO (optional) The free version is a complete camera. VCam Camera Pro adds: • Every camera style beyond Essentials • My Styles: build your own style, down to HSL, Color Balance, and glow colors • Every pose, motion, and accessory • Your own poses (VRMA) and accessories (GLB / FBX) • Transparent backgrounds • Studio tools: multiple avatars, Outline, Shadow, Wind, Freeze Sway, camera Angle and Motion, Save as Pose • High-resolution photos • 60 fps video • Remove the watermark or replace it with your signature Pro is available as an auto-renewable subscription (monthly or yearly) or a one-time purchase.
