Retro Camera 1960 turns your iPhone into a film camera from another era. Each film is built on color-accurate 3D LUTs — the same color science used in professional grading — combined with real film grain, halation, and vignette. Not a one-tap filter. Choose from over 20 film simulations spanning vivid slide film, faded negatives, and grainy high-speed black and white, each tuned to match the character of the stock that inspired it. FEATURES • Color-accurate 3D LUT film emulation, not a one-tap filter • 20+ film simulations (slide, negative, black & white, cinema) • Switch between wide, standard, and telephoto lenses • Retro 7-segment date stamp burned into every photo • GPS location embedded in EXIF (optional, can be turned off) • Save the unedited original alongside the filtered photo No settings to fuss over. Pick a film, press the shutter, and get a photo that feels like it was developed decades ago. Edit photos, use recipes, and save up to 20 photos at once. Watch an ad to save for free.
