Pilm is a camera that previews horizontal and vertical at the same time, on one screen — and colors every shot with our own hand-crafted filters, right where you stand. Choose your aspect ratios and capture both in a single take. ■ Shoot Horizontal & Vertical Together Compose with the 16:9 and 9:16 frames side by side. Vertical for Reels, horizontal for YouTube — all at once. A composition that won't get cropped, no matter where you post it. ■ Pick Your Ratios Supports 16:9, 9:16, 4:3, 3:4, and 1:1. Freely pair one horizontal frame with one vertical or square frame and shoot both together. Save your favorite combination in Settings. ■ Filters We Designed Ourselves Warm tones, cool tones, crisp tones, soft portrait tones, cinematic, and black & white — filters curated for every mood. Some revive the color of real film; others are original looks Pilm designed from scratch. Finished the moment you shoot, no editing app required. ■ Fine-Tune Anytime Swap filters on the spot right after you shoot, and re-open any photo you've already taken to edit it again. Pick a preset or adjust with sliders to land on exactly the color you want. ■ One Color Across Both Ratios Your chosen filter applies identically to both horizontal and vertical, so the tone of both photos and videos flows together naturally. ■ Photos and Video Alike Capture photos and record video with sound too. ■ Fully On-Device Every shot and every edit happens only on your device. No sign-up, no data collected, nothing sent anywhere. Record your everyday moments in the ratios you want and your own color — with Pilm.

Dual is a mood-focused video camera that applies your filter the moment you shoot. Instead of editing after recording, what you see on screen becomes your result. Its biggest strength is that a single recording can save both portrait (9:16) and landscape (16:9) videos at the same time—so you no longer need to shoot separately for Instagram Stories and YouTube. ■ Filters that are finished as you shoot Choose GRAIN for a textured film mood, GLOW for soft light around your subject, or CLEAN for a bright and crisp tone. Combine filters with the color palette, where you can adjust temperature and tint directly, to create more than 800 moods. Add aspect ratios (9:16, 3:4, 1:1) and a fisheye lens for even more possibilities. ■ Portrait and landscape at once Save portrait and landscape videos together with one button. Choose the ratio that suits you: 9:16, 3:4, or 1:1. ■ Photos too Even when you are not recording, tap the shutter to save a filtered photo instantly. ■ Trendy fisheye lens Turn the fisheye effect on or off with one button. It adds a subtle convex look at the center, along with delicate color fringing inspired by film cameras. ■ Front camera support Keep the same mood when switching to selfie mode. Capture everyday moments with a film-like feeling—in both portrait and landscape at once.
