CamSprite is a point-and-shoot pixel camera. Snap a photo and it becomes retro pixel art in a second. Then dress it up in a holiday costume, drop it into an arcade frame, and share it as a video, a GIF or a sticker. HOLIDAY COSTUMES Put your face in 25 pixel-art costumes for Halloween, Day of the Dead, Diwali and Christmas. Wear a sherwani or a saree for Diwali, become a Catrina or a mariachi for Día de Muertos, or go Santa, elf or gingerbread for Christmas. The costume menu always opens on the holiday that's coming up. PIXEL ART YOUR WAY • 9 looks: Sprite, Soft, Handheld, Neon, 1-Bit, 8-Bit, CGA, 16-Color and Pastel • Pixel sizes from giant blocks to fine detail • See the look live in the viewfinder before you shoot • Turn photos from your library into pixel art too 33 RETRO FRAMES Arcade cabinets, handheld consoles, old PCs, VHS tapes and more. SHARE IT • Hook videos of your photo snapping into pixels, with 14 motions • Looping GIFs • Stickers for any chat • RPG-style stat cards • Print it or email it MADE FOR iPAD AND iPHONE DUO On iPad and an unfolded iPhone Duo, CamSprite opens a studio layout: a big viewfinder next to a control deck. Turn it any way you like, use it in Split View, and press the space bar on a keyboard to take the shot. Folded, iPhone Duo keeps the familiar phone layout. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. No account needed. FREE, WITH OPTIONAL PRO Every frame, costume, look and motion is free at full quality, and saving to your Photos is always unlimited.
