About Camcora – VHS Camcorder Camera
Your iPhone. 1994. Camcora turns your iPhone into a real 90s camcorder. The effect is live in the viewfinder – what you see is what you record. Not a filter slapped on afterwards, but the full experience: blinking REC, tape counter, jerky motorized zoom, and the sound of an actual cassette. FIVE CAMERAS. ONE ERA. - VHS 1987 – washed-out colors and tracking noise, the look of old family tapes - VHS-C 1994 – the warm camcorder classic for birthdays and summer days - Hi8 1997 – sharper and richer, late-90s style - MiniDV 2001 – the early digital look with real interlacing edges - Security Cam – grainy monochrome with a stuttering frame rate AUTHENTIC DOWN TO THE DETAIL - Fully editable date & time – turn back the clock and stamp your footage like it's 1994 - Real analog sound: tape hiss, muffled camcorder audio, subtle wow & flutter – recorded like back then - Shake for glitch: trigger tracking distortion with a flick of your wrist - Blinking REC, battery indicator, tape counter and zoom bar right in the frame YOUR TAPES. YOUR SHELF. Every recording lands as a cassette in your Tape Library – with a writable label and a VCR-style player. Photos work too: a freeze-frame straight off the tape, artifacts included. MADE FOR TODAY - Export in 4:3, 16:9 or 9:16 – perfect for TikTok, Reels and Stories - Import existing videos and photos and give them the full 90s treatment - Up to 4K export – retro looks in modern resolution PRIVATE.

What’s new
Version 1.9.1 · Updated September 23, 2026
New look: Direct – the plain camera picture with no effects. Mix takes with and without a look on the same tape. Film looks now record at a true 24 fps. Frame rate and zoom style (stepped or smooth) can be adjusted per look. The viewfinder now turns upright when you hold your phone sideways. Master tapes can now be saved to Photos or shared right from the tape view. Saving a multi-clip tape to Photos now saves every clip. If you saved multi-clip tapes before, please save them again. The take-length option has a clearer label, and a 60 fps setting now survives a restart. Look codes with filter settings are longer now, so the full look travels with them.
