Make pixel art with your camera. Live. NeoCam is a camera that turns the world into pixel art the second you point it at something. The dithered look hits the viewfinder before you ever tap the shutter. What you see is what you keep. Five built-in palettes set the mood: 1 Bit, 2 Bit, GamePal, Mermaid, and Hope. Want your own? Create unlimited color palettes with the built-in editor. Out of ideas? Browse and install palettes shared by other 8-bit enthusiasts in the NeoCam community. Three sliders give you infinite looks. Pixelate the image. Dither the colors. Light the scene. Drag a slider, watch the preview update instantly, and shoot when it clicks. Capture how you want. Use the volume buttons, Action button, or AirPods stem as a hardware shutter. Launch straight into the camera from Control Center or the lock screen. Switch front and back with one tap. Re-edit any saved shot without losing the original. NeoCam Plus unlocks library import so you can dither any photo on your phone, plus higher-quality export formats and resolutions, and removes the watermark. One-time purchase. Family Sharing supported. NeoCam is for people who love the look of an old screen, the feel of an 80s gaming handheld, the four-bit bands of color on a fading sunset. See the world in pixels all over again. ========== Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://neocam.app/privacy.html
