Questions

Is VHS Filter free?

Yes. 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 30-second videos.

Do the videos have sound?

Not yet: clips are recorded without sound for now.

Does it need an account or internet?

No account. The filter runs on your phone and your photos are not uploaded.

Which phones are supported?

Any Android phone running Android 7.0 or newer. There is no iOS version yet.

Press PLAY on today.
