MeltCam

Read full description

Point the camera, and watch your world melt, warp, and glow. MeltCam is a real-time psychedelic camera app. From trending VHS-style noise to glitch, kaleidoscope, neon, and tie-dye, switch between bold effects and reshape the world right inside your viewfinder. [What makes MeltCam different] ◆ Zero-lag real-time preview No heavy post-processing, no waiting. Effects transform your viewfinder the instant you tap them. You're not editing after the shot — the world is already warped before you press the shutter. ◆ Choose the aspect ratio for your shot Shoot photos and videos in 3:4, 1:1, or 9:16, with the same framing in the preview and saved result. Pick the format that fits, from social feeds to vertical videos. ◆ A bold lineup of effects - Melt: signs and shapes drip and flow like liquid - Aura: a free effect that wraps bright areas in a soft pink, purple, and cyan glow without distorting faces or scenery - Tie-Dye: vivid tie-dye psychedelia - Wave: a sine-wave shimmer like looking through water - Mirror: symmetrical beauty born from a flip - Glitch: scanlines and noise, full digital decay - Acid: hue rotation paints the world in psychedelic colors - Plasma: undulating plasma light - Trip: a swirling vortex of mind-bending color - Vortex: a spiral that pulls everything inward - Kaleidoscope: peer into another world through a kaleidoscope - Neon Edge: outlines glow like neon signs - Prism Split: prism-shifted color separation - VHS Noise: gritty, retro 80s tape noise ◆ Photos and videos, ready to post Save photos and videos with the effect baked in, straight to your library. Record short videos up to 60 seconds. No extra editing step required. ◆ Front and rear camera Selfies or scenery, your call. Like the stock camera, the preview is mirrored while the saved photo is not — so what you share looks the way it should. [Made for you if you...] - Want photos and videos that don't look like everyone else's - Love glitch, psychedelic, and neon visuals - Shoot music, live shows, clubs, and festivals - Have outgrown standard filter apps - Want to play with the shot, not just edit it after [MeltCam Pro] Use six effects for free without limits: Wave, Melt, Aura, Mirror, Glitch, and Tie-Dye. Upgrade to Pro to unlock eight more effects, including Acid, Trip, and Plasma. [Supported languages] English, Japanese, Portuguese (Brazil), German, Spanish, Korean, French, Simplified Chinese Look through the lens, into another world. With MeltCam, turn what's in front of you into something that isn't quite real.

One shot. Not forty. OneCut coaches your angle while you shoot, so you get it right the first time — then you lightly retouch only what you need before saving. Everything happens on your phone; your photos are never sent to a server. ■ Before & after, in one tap - When a better angle makes the difference, OneCut catches the moment and turns it into a short video and a comparison card - Post it straight to social media with one tap ■ See your angle as a score - A live score shows how well your angle, level, lighting and framing line up - It coaches one thing at a time — the one that's off right now - When the score climbs high enough, the shutter fires itself. Just hold the pose ■ Save your angle, find it again - Save an angle that worked as My Pose, and OneCut guides you back to it next time - The more shots you keep, the more the target angle moves toward yours - Every pose keeps your personal best — you compete with yesterday's you, no one else ■ Minimal retouching - Fine-tune five facial features — face size, jawline, eyes, nose, lips — only as much as you want - Adjust lip color and skin texture gently, just to taste - Press and hold to compare with the original — check whether the retouching shows ■ Full quality, kept - Always saves at original resolution; your original photo stays untouched - Re-adjust as many times as you like with no quality loss ■ Minimal noise - No watermark on your photos - Shooting, the five-axis retouch, saving and sharing are free — and stay free - OneCut Premium opens what's newly added, including four new shooting filters (Flash, Pink, Cream, Morning) and My looks, which saves a retouch you like so you can apply it to your next photo in one tap. It also hides the home screen banner - With Premium you can also turn off the small watermark on before & after videos ■ Your photos stay on your phone - 100% on-device processing — no sign-up, no photo uploads For anyone who'd rather fix the angle than fix the photo. ■ Premium subscription - ¥480/month (1-week free trial), ¥2,900/year (1-month free trial), or ¥4,900 once. Prices vary by region - Free trials are for first-time subscribers only - Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
