Zerocam 2.0: Camera for Real Photos. Zero Processing. Zero Filters. Most phone cameras today rely on aggressive computational processing that can over-sharpen images and create a flat, artificial look. Zerocam 2.0 strips away the digital makeup. We built a clean, high-quality image pipeline to capture life as you see it. No fake HDR, no “beauty” filters, and zero over-processing. Why Zerocam? While most camera apps add more controls and processing tricks, Zerocam removes distractions and focuses on the soul of photography: - A natural, distortion-free look. Say goodbye to strange halos around buildings and skin that looks like plastic. - Pure simplicity. No settings to tweak. No menus to get lost in. Open the app and shoot. - Full hardware potential. Get the most out of your iPhone camera system. What’s New in 2.0? - Native Lens Support. Easily switch between Wide, Ultra Wide, and Telephoto on supported iPhone models. - Zero Looks (Natural Color Grades). Subtle, film-inspired color profiles applied in real time. These are not heavy filters, but carefully crafted professional color grades, updated monthly. - Multi-Exposure Mode. Create artistic shots by instantly merging two frames into one. - iPhone-Optimized Interface (Beta). A redesigned UI that feels native, fast, and intuitive across supported iPhone sizes. - Pro-Grade RAW & JPG. A rebuilt image pipeline delivers cleaner tones and more reliable RAW files, giving you greater flexibility in post-production. Built for Intentional Photography Zerocam is designed for photographers who want to stay present, not buried in settings. It’s fast, intentional, and built to treat your phone like a real pocket camera.

Turn any photo into a whole pack of stickers. Pick a photo — a lunch with a view, your dog, last weekend's trip — and Snipster redraws it as a set of bold, die-cut stickers, each cut out cleanly with its own white border. One photo becomes a whole pack. STICK THEM ANYWHERE • Send them from the sticker drawer in Messages • Drag a sticker straight into any chat or app • Copy one and paste it wherever you're typing • Share a sticker on its own, or the whole pack as one card SMART SUGGESTIONS Not sure which photo to use? Snipster looks through your library on your device and suggests the ones that would make great stickers: pets, people, food and the things you love. It skips the ones that wouldn't, like screenshots and wide landscapes. YOUR COLLECTION Every pack is saved in your library, named for you and ready to reuse. Favourite the best ones and flip through them any time. NO SIGN-UP Start making stickers the moment you open the app. There's no email and no password. You can sign in with Apple if you want your plan on another device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Suggestions are worked out on your device. A photo only leaves your phone when you ask for a pack, and only that photo. FREE AND PLUS Snipster is free to try, with a few packs each month. Snipster Plus is an optional subscription with a much bigger monthly allowance. Payment is charged to your Apple Account when you confirm the purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel them in your Apple Account settings.
