About this app

1998 Cam turns your phone into a vintage camera and retro photo editor, bringing the warmth, grain, and charm of '90s film to every shot. Explore 100+ film filters, analog effects, and vintage video effects while you shoot, or transform photos and videos in your gallery.

Remember the magic of developed photos—the faded colors, date stamps, dust, and light leaks that made every frame feel one of a kind? 1998 Cam recreates that nostalgic analog look with simple editing. Capture the moment, preview the style in real time, and make it feel like a memory.

🎞 Capture the analog camera feeling
Use 1998 Cam as a vintage camera, film camera, retro camera, disposable camera, timestamp camera, and date stamp camera in one simple app. It combines the nostalgic character of a film camera with the speed and convenience of a digital camera. See your chosen look before the shutter, then capture the faded colors, soft contrast, film grain, and happy imperfections that make analog photography feel alive.

🛠 Edit photos and videos your way
1998 Cam is also a vintage photo editor and video editor for media already on your phone. Import a favorite picture, apply retro photo filters, layer dust or light leak effects, adjust color and exposure, and build a personal analog style. Use the retro photo editor for selfies, portraits, street photography, travel photos, food, landscapes, or everyday snapshots.

For moving memories, apply vintage video effects and cinematic video filters to clips from your gallery or record with a live preview. Create a soft film video, an energetic VHS-style edit, or an 8mm-inspired home-movie look. Photo and video editing stay together, so you can give an entire story the same nostalgic color and texture.

📸 Create photo booth strips and editable designs
Switch to Photo Booth when one picture is not enough. Capture a series automatically or manually, choose a layout and frame, and save a photo booth strip or grid ready to share. For more creative control, start with an editable photo template and personalize the photos, text, colors, background, decorations, and layout.

🌟 Made for memories, not digital perfection
Whether you are styling selfies, street scenes, travel photos, party snapshots, or short videos, 1998 Cam combines a '90s camera, analog camera app, film photo editor, and retro video camera in one simple creative workflow.

I absolutely love and adore this photo app! I've been using it for years! There are so many filters and lighting options that give you an authentic film-like experience. I especially love that you can import photos and press a button to get totally randomized combinations and results - you never know what you are going to get and that element of surprise adds so much to the experience.

Really like this app. The filters give photos a convincing old film look without making everything feel overedited, and there’s a good amount of control over things like grain and light leaks. I also had a good experience with the team. I originally bought the app a few years ago, but after it changed studios and was republished, my old purchase couldn’t be restored. I contacted support, explained what happened, and they sorted things out. Couldn't recommend it enough. Really missed having it.

I bought the pro version back in 2021 and now I don't have the features anymore. Seeing as this is one of the few apps where I can filter my videos, I gritted my teeth and dealt with it. But tonight I tried to go in and filter a video and it wouldn't let me add a video or photo. I tried restarting my phone and clearing storage and nothing worked. I kept getting ads for the pro version. What on earth is happening? This use to be my holy grail app now features are being taken away!
