Read full descriptionHide full description
Dream Camera is an AI camera and photo editor for cinematic photos that still feel real. Capture a moment, choose a camera-inspired look, tune the lens and mood, then let Dream Camera process the photo with color, texture, depth, and atmosphere. Built for people who want more than a basic photo filter, Dream Camera combines camera controls, cinematic presets, AI photo enhancement, and background processing in one simple mobile workflow. Apply film looks, camera styles, and cinematic color grades. Choose lens-inspired perspectives for portraits, travel, street photos, and everyday memories. Adjust ISO, shutter, aperture, white balance, focus, flash, exposure, and zoom, or use Auto Mode for fast AI-assisted settings. Dream Camera is designed for photos of real people, real places, and real moments. It focuses on atmosphere, color science, lens character, and emotional tone instead of replacing what made the photo yours.
Starburst Camera

Shape the light before you take the shot. Starburst Camera lets you preview the look of a virtual aperture on your iPhone, turning bright points into star-shaped rays while softening the scene around your subject. Choose from four virtual aperture settings: ฦ/1.48, ฦ/1.8, ฦ/2.8 and ฦ/4.0. Control light rays and background blur separately, tap to focus, and use the optional grid to frame your shot. Switch between front and back cameras and choose an available rear lens. After capture, compare the edited image with the original. Keep photos in the app gallery, save a full-resolution HEIC copy to Photos, or share your result. A labeled sample scene lets you explore the controls before allowing camera access. The aperture effect is computational and does not change your iPhone's physical lens. Blur and ray results vary with the scene and camera hardware. Camera access requires a monthly or annual auto-renewing subscription. Apple shows your local price, renewal terms, and trial eligibility before purchase. Restore purchases and manage your subscription in Settings.
