    Frames

    Every camera carries its own border textures, from clean white edges to worn, light-leaked film frames, so each photo gets a finish that matches its era.

Questions about the edit

What the cameras do, batches, text, frames, and fine-tuning.

What do the cameras actually do?

Each VNTG camera re-renders your photo through a real film look, hand-tuned to its era, with its own grain, color, border textures, analog filters, and aged effects. It's not one filter on top, it's the whole optical signature of that camera.

Can I edit multiple photos at once?

Yes. Multi-photo edit runs a whole batch through the same camera and settings, so an entire set comes out with one consistent film look.

Can I add text to my photos?

Yes. The text tool uses fonts drawn from each camera's era, with full control over placement, color, and opacity, so your captions and quotes sit right at home in the period.

Are frames and borders included?

Every camera carries its own border textures, from clean white edges to worn, light-leaked film frames, so each photo gets a finish that matches its era.

Can I fine-tune the look?

Yes. Dial each camera's strength up or down and layer analog filters and aged effects until the mood is exactly what you remember.
