Welcome to Distorted, an artful camera and photo editor app that combines randomized sequences of filters for glitchy, distorted, and cinematic effects on your photos and videos. Distorted transforms your iPhone camera into a moody, pixellated, and sometimes broken canvas using creative combos of image filters. Choose your mode at launch: take a photo, record a video, or import an image from your photo library. Every session is pre-loaded with a randomized filter chain, so you'll never shoot the same look twice. Each filter affects the next in sequence and can be fine-tuned with attributes like intensity, sharpness, radii, thresholds, levels, blur, and color controls, with over 100 filters to choose from. KEY FEATURES Live filtered viewfinder for photo and video capture, so what you see is what you shoot. No guesswork, no post-processing required. Video recording with real-time filter chains applied frame by frame. Record short clips with glitch, VHS, pixel, halftone, distortion, and vintage film looks baked right in. Photo import and editing from your camera roll. Run any existing photo through the same randomized chains to give old shots a fresh, distorted aesthetic. 100+ built in filters including pixellate, CRT, halftone, posterize, chrome, noir, bloom, thermal, kaleidoscope, edge detect, color monochrome, and many more experimental effects. Adjustable filter parameters. Dial in each filter with sliders for intensity, radius, levels, color, and sharpness to craft your exact look. Save your favorite filter chains to a personal library and reuse them across photo and video sessions. Build custom chains by adding individual filters by name for total creative control over your aesthetic. Tap the palette icon to instantly restyle the app's interface colors to match your vibe. Whether you love analog film looks, retro VHS glitches, lo-fi aesthetic photography, pixel art, or abstract experimental imagery, Distorted turns your camera into a creative playground.
