Dazz Cam alternatives for iPhone (2026)

Last updated:

Dazz Cam is the biggest name in vintage camera apps, but it isn’t the only way to get the look — and depending on what you shoot, it may not even be the best fit.

The alternatives, honestly

Selfie — if you want vintage + both cameras at once. 50+ vintage presets (35mm, medium format, instant, VHS, CCTV, thermal) rendered live in the viewfinder, with the one feature no vintage-first app has: simultaneous front-and-back photos and videos. Free to try; iOS 17+.

OldRoll — if you want the film-camera ritual. Skeuomorphic film cameras with a develop-the-roll feel and a broad camera collection. One camera at a time.

1998 Cam — if you want quick date-stamped nostalgia. The classic 90s point-and-shoot look with timestamp, light leaks and grain. Simple and fast.

Huji Cam — if you want the original one-trick pony. The app that started the disposable-cam wave. Dated now, but the look is still there and it’s effectively free.

ism — if you want editorial-grade retro digital. Polished retro-digicam looks with strong defaults, subscription-first.

How to choose

You shoot yourself + the scene (travel, couples, concerts, reactions): the dual-capture requirement decides it — Selfie is the only one on this list that does it.
You want maximum camera variety to browse: Dazz Cam or OldRoll.
You want free and fast: Huji Cam or 1998 Cam’s free tier.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a free Dazz Cam alternative? Huji Cam is free with its signature look; 1998 Cam and Selfie are free to download with optional subscriptions.

Which alternative also does video? Selfie records filtered video — including dual front-and-back video with sound. Most vintage-first apps focus on stills first.
