REACTIONS AND MOMENTS, BOTH SIDES - Capture your face and the scene in a single take - Great for vlogs, reactions, unboxings, tutorials, travel, concerts, and interviews TRUE WYSIWYG RECORDING - What you see is what you get: PIP position, size, and rounded corners match the saved video - The front camera preview is mirrored, like the built-in Camera app, while saved videos keep the real scene - Drag the PIP window anywhere, tap to cycle its size, swap front/back with one tap - Beamforming microphone follows the main camera BUILT FOR LONG RECORDINGS - Reliable long-session recording with thermal monitoring and automatic safeguards - Your footage is recovered even if the app is interrupted - Storage guard warns you before space runs out QUALITY OPTIONS - 1080p 30fps: free - 4K 30fps and 1080p 60fps: PipCam Pro, a single one-time purchase. No subscription. SIMPLE AND PRIVATE - No account and no sign-up - Videos save straight to your Photos library - Free with ads shown after recording. PipCam Pro removes ads with one purchase. PipCam requires a device that supports simultaneous front and back capture (iPhone XS or later).
