VHS Camera: Retro Camcorder
Live Analog Camera Effects
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Shoot memories like they came off a tape: live VHS artifacts, fourteen tape stocks, and a built-in library for photos and video.
Your phone is now a camcorder.
VHS Camera turns the live camera feed into a worn-in analog tape. Capture photos and videos with scanlines, chromatic bleed, tracking glitches, noise, flicker, vignette, and a camcorder-style screen.
No editor timeline required. Frame the moment, press record, and make the take.
WHY VHS CAMERA
• Live VHS preview — See the analog look while you frame the shot.
• Photo and video capture — Make stills, record video with audio, and keep the same tape character across both.
• Fourteen tape stocks — Choose from Classic VHS, Lo-Fi, 1998, Contrast, Muted, Damaged, Glitchy, Tapeless, 80s Cam, Spy Cam, Rental Copy, Betamax, Night Rec, and Broadcast.
• Manual tracking — Pull the picture out of alignment for a short burst of authentic head-wreck and glitch.
• Camcorder controls — Use the front or back camera, zoom, flash, mirror, date stamp, tape speed, and tape counter.
• Tape Library — Keep your captures organized in the app with tape labels, playback, photo viewing, and erase controls.
• Save and share — Mirror finished captures to your photo library, then share them with the tools on your phone.
MAKE THE LOOK YOURS
Start with the balanced warmth of Classic VHS, the soft texture of Lo-Fi, the hot colors of 80s Cam, the jitter of Spy Cam, or the clean signal of Tapeless. When you want more wear, switch to Damaged, Glitchy, Rental Copy, or Night Rec. Each stock has its own combination of color, noise, scanlines, tracking, and tape damage.
VHS Camera is made for 80s and 90s throwbacks, home movies, parties, music clips, skate videos, found-footage ideas, travel diaries, and any moment that should feel like it came from a box in the attic.
OPTIONAL VHS-CAM PRO
The free version gives you the core camera, Classic VHS, Lo-Fi, and Tapeless stocks, and video recordings up to 60 seconds. VHS-CAM Pro unlocks all fourteen tape stocks, removes the watermark from saved captures, and supports longer takes up to 30 minutes. Subscriptions and a lifetime purchase are available in the app; prices vary by storefront.
Restore a previous purchase from Camera Setup at any time.
VHS Camera does not require an account to start. Captures are kept on your device unless you choose to save or share them.
