SOFT — gentler dithering, for a quieter pixel texture.
CLASSIC — a middle ground between gentle tones and visible grain.
HARD — stronger dithering and a more pronounced pixel texture.

PHOTO / VIDEO / GIFFor stills and little moments
An ordinary day.
A different kind of memory.
Morning coffee. A cat by the window. Light on the way home. When color and detail step back, shapes and shadows take their place. This little camera is about enjoying the act of taking a picture, not making everything perfectly sharp.
Find your picture before you take it.
Compose in the processed live preview. Choose a look, adjust brightness and contrast, then capture and save. Mini Camera is a live camera, not an editor that imports photos from your camera roll.

Less color. More shape.
Four shades from dark to light, with ordered dots suggesting the tones in between. All three looks are monochrome. They change the texture and tonal response, not the color palette.
One frame. Or a little movement.
Video
Record a short scene with sound. The free camera supports 12fps and up to 10 seconds; Pro adds 30fps and videos up to 30 seconds.
GIF
Make a brief, silent movement repeat as a loop. GIF is a separate capture mode, not another name for video.
Start free.
Go a little further with Pro.
Photos, all three looks, brightness and contrast, short videos and GIF loops are available without buying Pro. A one-time in-app purchase unlocks 30fps for video and GIF, plus longer video recording.
| Feature | Free | One-time Pro |

The 10- and 30-second limits apply to video, not GIF. Pro pricing and availability can vary by region and over time. Check the App Store or the in-app purchase screen for the current offer.
