Hipstamatic® Analog Camera
Vintage Photo Editor & Filters
Only for iPhone
Free · In-App Purchases · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Stop editing. Just shoot. The look happens before the shutter, like real film. No fixing. No second-guessing. No undo.
Your iPhone takes perfect photos. Hipstamatic® doesn't. That's the point.
Hipstamatic is not a photo editor. It's a camera... the original analog film camera for iPhone, made since 2009.
——
SHOOT FIRST. EDIT NEVER.
Pick a lens. Pick a film. Shoot. Hipstamatic® applies the analog look before you press the shutter — exactly the way a real film camera works. No editing. No tweaking. No second-guessing. The photo is finished the moment you take it.
——
200+ LENSES. 200+ FILMS. EVERY ONE A REAL CAMERA.
Over 1,000 analog combinations across TinType, Instant, Classic Toy and more. Each one gives you grain, color shifts, light leaks and vignettes you can't fake and can't replicate anywhere else. None of them perfect. All of them honest. Don't want to choose? Shuffle, and let the camera surprise you.
——
NO ADS. NO TRACKING. NO ALGORITHM. EVER.
Hipstamatic® runs on members, not advertisers. No VC funding. No data harvesting. No feed deciding what you should look at. When you join, you're keeping an independent camera alive… One that's been here since before Instagram existed.
——
A SMALL, QUIET ROOM.
If you want it, there's a community of people who shoot the way you do. Chronological. No algorithm. No brand accounts. No promoted posts. No follower math. Just photographs people actually meant to make. And it's opt-in — if you only ever want a private camera, that's the whole app too.
——
FREE TO START. MORE LOOKS WITH MEMBERSHIP.
The camera is free. Join the Hipstamatic® Camera Club to open the whole shelf. Every lens, every film, every camera we've made in 15+ years and go as deep as you want to go. Your first month is on us.
——
P.S. Hipstamatic was Apple's very first App of the Year (2010). We just never stopped pointing the camera at something.
more It’s been over a decade since the original Hipstamatic turned the iPhone into a vintage camera. The all-new Hipstamatic X adds even more old-school lenses, cameras, and film to the mix.
