CamSprite — point, shoot, pixel art. Turn your camera into a pixel-art machine. Point at anything, tap once, and get a clean sprite: cut out from its background, hard-edged, ready to send. No account. No cloud. No generative AI. ——————————— WHAT YOU CAN DO ——————————— • SEE IT FIRST — Turn on the live preview and your style appears in the viewfinder, before you press the shutter • CATCH A SPRITE — One tap lifts your subject off its background and redraws it in pixels • 9 LOOKS — Handheld greens, 8-bit, 16-colour, 1-bit mono, neon, pastel and more • 25 RETRO FRAMES — Drop your sprite into an arcade cabinet, a handheld, a CRT, a cassette deck • NAME YOUR HERO — Put your own name and stats on a trading card • ANIMATED GIFS — Export a looping sprite straight to Photos • THE HOOK — A 3-second reveal video, 9:16, built for Reels and TikTok. Four motions: Scan, Blocks, Iris and Curtain • STICKERS — Cut-out PNGs with transparent backgrounds, for any chat • SHARE, SAVE, PRINT, EMAIL — without leaving the screen ——————————— FREE AND PRO ——————————— Everything above is free, at full quality. Free exports carry a watermark. PRO removes the watermark and expands the in-app gallery from 50 sprites to 500. Saving to your Photos is unlimited either way. Monthly or Lifetime. Cancel subscriptions anytime in your Apple ID settings. ——————————— PRIVACY ——————————— Your photos are processed on your phone and are never uploaded to a CamSprite server. Cutting the subject out uses Apple's on-device Vision framework. Nothing is invented — every pixel comes from your own photo. CamSprite Pro Monthly $1.99 — auto-renews each month unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Manage or cancel in your Apple Account settings. Lifetime $9.99 — one-time purchase, not a subscription. Privacy Policy: https://spritefix.app/camsprite/privacy Terms of Use (EULA): https://spritefix.app/camsprite/terms
