Grain
Adds sensor-like texture that reads as realistic on screens. Keep it low-to-medium for daylight scenes to avoid chalkiness; push higher at night to glue tones together and reduce sterile sharpness while preserving edge detail. For city rain or storefront glass, a touch of grain helps blend micro-contrast for a believable digicam finish.
JPEG Artifacts
Introduces era-style compression blocks and light mosquito noise for that ‘small file’ look. A touch boosts character and nostalgia; too much can smear faces or skies—dial until texture is present but text and hair strands stay readable. On flat walls or skies, back off slightly to prevent banding.
Color Shift
Warms the palette slightly and nudges channels for a casual compact-camera balance. Great for skin and sodium/neon scenes. For daylight candids use a mild shift; for night portraits push it further, then refine with white balance if needed. Try pairing a gentle warm shift with cooler shadows for extra depth.
Vignette
Adds gentle corner fall-off like small optics. This guides attention and helps neon/glare feel cohesive. Keep it subtle for wide scenes; increase for portraits or busy frames to isolate the subject without obvious ‘spotlight’ halos. If highlights clip at the edge, a little vignette tidies the frame.
Digicam Style Examples
Neon Street Snapshot
Rain-soaked streets and signage benefit from mild grain and compression texture—the classic casual night snap that feels spontaneous yet stylized. Reflections on pavement take the digicam look especially well, and a subtle vignette keeps attention on the brightest signs without crushing shadow detail.
Daylight Candid Street
Casual daytime walk scene—apply light grain and a gentle warm tone to transform a clean digital file into a relaxed point-and-shoot snapshot. Keep JPEG artifacts low so faces, text, and signage remain crisp while the overall frame reads friendly and immediate.
Vending Machines, Fluorescent Pop
Bright vending machines and cool fluorescents take on pleasing texture with subtle artifacts—perfect to showcase the everyday snapshot vibe. A mild warm shift softens sterile tubes, and a restrained vignette trims edge clutter for a tidy digicam composition.
Urban Portrait at Night
A moody portrait under neon glow—use a warm shift and light vignette to add depth without blurring hair detail or edge contrast. Keep grain medium-low so skin stays natural; nudge JPEG artifacts until the background gains character without smearing facial features.
How to Create a Digicam Look
Step 1
Choose a JPG/PNG/WebP. Street, travel, café interiors, convenience stores, night portraits, gas stations, and candid moments all respond well to a digicam treatment. Prefer well-exposed files for the most natural texture.
Step 2
Start with a small Grain boost, then add a touch of JPEG Artifacts until texture appears but text/edges remain readable. Warm the Color Shift slightly, and finish with a subtle Vignette to guide attention. Check at phone size to confirm legibility.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The editor runs entirely in your browser with live preview. We do not upload your images, and you don’t need an account. Your files never leave the device.
JPG, PNG, WebP are supported. Well-exposed photos with intact detail produce the most convincing digicam feel—avoid severely underexposed or over-compressed sources.
It works on modern mobile browsers; for very large images, desktop performs better. If edits feel heavy, reduce image size or zoom out to phone scale to judge texture quickly.
Keep artifacts tasteful: grain and compression should be visible but not distracting. Check at phone scale; if faces and text are still clear, you’re good.
