VHS Filter: 90s Camera & CRT

Make today look like a home video from a tape labeled "Summer 98".

Tracking lines, color bleed and the white PLAY display roll across the screen live, before you hit record.

I made VHS CRT Cam because old home videos feel warm in a way perfect phone footage never does. Point it at a birthday cake in a dim kitchen and the candles smear into color while the corner says PLAY and 1998. It has that soft, worn feel of a tape that's been watched a hundred times.

📼 VHS: worn tape with tracking lines, color bleed and soft focus

📺 CRT TV: curved tube glass, RGB stripes and glowing phosphor

📡 Channel: static snow and a rolling picture, like between channels

🎞 8mm: warm, grainy family camcorder (PRO)

⚪ B&W TV: an old black and white portable TV (PRO)

👾 Arcade: big pixels and a strong RGB mask (PRO)

▶ The VCR display: PLAY, the time and the date. Set the year to 1998, use today, or turn it off

🎛 Sliders for every look: distortion, tracking line, color bleed, curvature, static, vertical roll, scanlines, grain

🎥 Photos and short VHS video clips, 8 seconds in the free version and 30 with PRO

🖼 Run old gallery photos through the VHS filter too

📐 Works with the phone held sideways, like a real camcorder

Heads up: video clips don't record sound yet.

Photos carry a small watermark. Watch a short ad to remove it for one shot or to try a PRO look for the session. PRO is a one-time purchase, not a subscription: no watermark, every look and longer videos.

If it brings back a memory, tell me in a review. And if there's a TV or tape look you remember that's missing here, I'd love to add it.
