Read full description

Make ordinary photos feel like they came from a favorite old camera. Flashback is a retro camera and photo editor for digicam flash, film grain, instant color, and imperfect little memories. SHOOT OR IMPORT Capture with your phone or bring in a photo from your library. Choose a look before you shoot, then keep the moment moving. DIAL IN THE MEMORY Tune flash intensity, grain, softness, vignette, date stamps, and crop. Compare before and after until the frame feels right. BUILD YOUR CAMERA SHELF Explore illustrated digicam, instant, film, and video cameras. Load a film roll, expose 24 frames, then wash the roll when you are ready. KEEP IT LOCAL Edit offline with local-first processing. Save finished frames to Photos and share them with friends. Flashback is for people who miss the happy accidents: soft flash, creamy tones, grain, glow, and a little less perfection.
