Ruin your photos. Beautifully. BADSCAN turns your camera into a broken copy machine: photocopy, riso, newsprint, thermal receipt, fax and cyanotype — live in the viewfinder, not as an afterthought filter. No AI. No uploads. Every preset is a procedural print engine running fully on your device. THE PRESSES • BAD SCAN 01 — harsh threshold, toner grain, scanner streaks and dust • RISO PINK — fluorescent duotone with heavy print grain • NEWSPRINT — halftone dots on warm, yellowed paper • THERMAL — receipt ink with banding and fade • FAX 1994 — brutal 1-bit dither with line dropouts • CYANOTYPE — prussian-blue contact print DARKROOM CONTROLS Push every preset your way: THRESHOLD, TONER GRAIN and TEXTURE sliders, with press-and-hold compare against the original. SHOOT OR IMPORT • Live viewfinder with the preset applied in real time • Import photos and videos from your library • Full-resolution export • Every print comes out as a copy-shop receipt with its own copy number MADE FOR PRINT NERDS Square corners, ink borders, paper grain. The app itself looks like it fell out of a photocopier. BADSCAN PRO (auto-renewing subscription) • Yearly with a 3-day free trial, or weekly • Unlocks all presets, video export, watermark-free output • Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase.
