Make today look like 1999.
Y2K Cam turns your photos and videos into authentic retro footage — the kind that looks like a tape you found in a drawer. Real NTSC grain, burned-in date stamps, and the warm, glitchy magic of a 90s camcorder. Point, shoot, and watch the present rewind.
This isn't another flat "VHS filter." Y2K Cam is built like a real camcorder — the look is baked in like it was shot that way, not slapped on top.
WHAT YOU CAN DO
• Shoot photos and video through a live VHS viewfinder
• Drop in any photo or clip from your library and tape-ify it
• Switch looks — VHS, glitch, 80s, security-cam, faded, broadcast and more
• Burn in authentic date and time stamps, just like the old tapes
• Frame your clip inside living TV static or a bold print background
• Add a caption that degrades right into the footage
• Save to your camera roll or share straight to your feed
WHY Y2K CAM
• Real camcorder realism — grain, scanlines and color bleed that actually look shot in 99
• Found-footage details other apps skip: burned-in timestamps, TV-static frames, tape-degraded text
• Fast and fun — no learning curve, just point and shoot
• Works on your photos AND your videos
GO PRO
Every look is free. Go Pro to drop the "Made with Y2K Cam" mark, add custom captions, unlock frame colors and corner styles, and save any time.
Turn your camera roll into a stack of old tapes. Make today look like 1999.
