About

Lowfi Cam

Features
Read full description

LowfiCam turns your iPhone into a vintage film camera โ€” complete with grain, light leaks, scratches, and the warm imperfection of analog photography. FILM PRESETS Choose from 11 handcrafted film simulations, from faded Kodachrome warmth to high-contrast black and white, pushed tungsten, and glitchy neon. Every preset is tuned to feel like a real roll of film โ€” not a slider moved in post. CUSTOM DARKROOM Fine-tune your look with 11 adjustable parameters: contrast, saturation, brightness, sepia, hue, blur, grayscale, vignette, grain, scratches, and light leak. Dial in the exact mood you're after. ANALOG OVERLAYS Grain, dust scratches, and light leaks are composited directly onto every frame โ€” not applied as an afterthought. The result looks developed, not filtered. FILM ROLL Your shots are organized into a roll, grouped by month, just like a canister you'd drop off at the lab. SHARE YOUR SHOTS Export any photo with a composed frame โ€” filter name, capture time, and the LowfiCam badge โ€” ready to post as-is. ONE-TIME PURCHASE No subscription. Pay once, shoot forever.
