About this app

VHS Camera is a live retro camcorder and analog camera for making photos and videos with tape effects.

Turn your phone into a VHS camera and shoot the moment as it happens. The live preview runs through a real-time tape look with scanlines, chromatic bleed, tracking glitches, noise, flicker, vignette, and color wear. What you frame is the look you make.

FEATURES

• Live analog camera preview — See the retro video effect while you shoot.
• Photo and video capture — Make VHS-style photos and record video with audio.
• Fourteen tape stocks — Classic VHS, Lo-Fi, 1998, Contrast, Muted, Damaged, Glitchy, Tapeless, 80s Cam, Spy Cam, Rental Copy, Betamax, Night Rec, and Broadcast.
• Manual tracking — Temporarily pull the signal out of alignment for a strong glitch burst.
• Camcorder controls — Front and back camera, zoom, flash, mirror, date stamp, tape speed, and tape counter.
• Tape Library — Keep your photos and videos organized in an in-app tape shelf with labels, playback, and erase controls.
• Save to your gallery — Finished captures are mirrored to your device photo and video library when access is allowed.
• Share anywhere — Use your phone's sharing tools to send your finished retro video and photos.

CHOOSE YOUR TAPE LOOK

Use Classic VHS for a warm, balanced home-video feel. Try Lo-Fi for a softer texture, 80s Cam for hot colors and heavy scanlines, Spy Cam for noisy surveillance energy, or Tapeless for a cleaner analog signal. Damaged, Glitchy, Rental Copy, Betamax, Night Rec, and Broadcast add distinct color, noise, tracking, and tape-wear combinations.

VHS Camera is an analog camera and retro camcorder built for 80s and 90s throwbacks, home movies, parties, music clips, skate videos, travel diaries, found-footage ideas, and social videos that should feel like they came from an old camcorder.

OPTIONAL VHS-CAM PRO

Start free with 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. Optional weekly, monthly, yearly, and lifetime plans are available in the app; prices vary by country and storefront.

No account is required to start. Your captures stay on your device unless you choose to save or share them.
