Filtered photos are rejected for passports, visas and most exam forms. Use the original.
Live, in this tab only
Press Start camera and the browser asks for permission; nothing is requested before that. Each frame goes through the same colour table and shader as a still photograph, so the look you see live is the look you get. The tiles at the side are drawn from one still grabbed when the camera starts — press Refresh tiles for a new one.
Capture and edit opens the still in the full editor with the look already on it: change the strength, compare four looks, add grain or glow, and save. Save this still writes the graded frame straight to your downloads. For a feed-sized export, finish on Instagram photo filters.
What it cannot do
- Not AR face filters: no face tracking, stickers, face reshaping or beauty smoothing.
- Frame rate depends on the device; the measured rate is shown while the camera is on. Glow and halation are off live and can be added in the editor.
- No video recording in this version.
Questions
Is my camera video sent anywhere?
No. The stream is drawn into a canvas in this tab and nowhere else. No video is kept until you press the shutter, and then only one still is kept, in this tab. The camera stops when you press Stop camera, leave the page or hide the tab.
Why does the page ask for camera permission?
Because a web page cannot see the camera without the browser asking you first. The question appears only when you press Start camera, never when the page loads, and you can revoke it from the address bar at any time.
Are there face stickers or beauty filters?
No. These are colour looks only: no face tracking, stickers, face reshaping or skin smoothing. The same fifty-six looks as the rest of the site, graded live.
Why is my captured selfie not mirrored?
The preview of a front camera is mirrored so it behaves like a mirror, but the saved still is the picture as the camera saw it — text reads the right way round. Tick Save mirrored if you want the mirror image.
Can I make a strip of four photos?
Yes: Four-frame film strip. Press Shoot four frames and the camera takes four stills, three seconds apart, then lays them out as a 35 mm film strip — sprocket holes, frame numbers and each look's name printed along the edge — or as a 2 × 2 contact print. Pick one look for all four, or let each frame wear a different look from the shelf. It is made in this tab and saved as one JPG.
Can I record video?
Not in this version. Capture saves stills; video recording is not offered.
