MeltCam: Live Camera Filters
Glitch, Retro Photos & Videos
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Point the camera, and watch your world melt, warp, and glow.
MeltCam is a real-time psychedelic camera app. From trending VHS-style noise to glitch, kaleidoscope, neon, and tie-dye, switch between bold effects and reshape the world right inside your viewfinder.
[What makes MeltCam different]
◆ Zero-lag real-time preview
No heavy post-processing, no waiting. Effects transform your viewfinder the instant you tap them. You're not editing after the shot — the world is already warped before you press the shutter.
◆ Choose the aspect ratio for your shot
Shoot photos and videos in 3:4, 1:1, or 9:16, with the same framing in the preview and saved result. Pick the format that fits, from social feeds to vertical videos.
◆ A bold lineup of effects
- Melt: signs and shapes drip and flow like liquid
- Aura: a free effect that wraps bright areas in a soft pink, purple, and cyan glow without distorting faces or scenery
- Tie-Dye: vivid tie-dye psychedelia
- Wave: a sine-wave shimmer like looking through water
- Mirror: symmetrical beauty born from a flip
- Glitch: scanlines and noise, full digital decay
- Acid: hue rotation paints the world in psychedelic colors
- Plasma: undulating plasma light
- Trip: a swirling vortex of mind-bending color
- Vortex: a spiral that pulls everything inward
- Kaleidoscope: peer into another world through a kaleidoscope
- Neon Edge: outlines glow like neon signs
- Prism Split: prism-shifted color separation
- VHS Noise: gritty, retro 80s tape noise
◆ Photos and videos, ready to post
Save photos and videos with the effect baked in, straight to your library. Record short videos up to 60 seconds. No extra editing step required.
◆ Front and rear camera
Selfies or scenery, your call. Like the stock camera, the preview is mirrored while the saved photo is not — so what you share looks the way it should.
