Digicam Filter

Give a photo an early 2000s digital camera look with boosted contrast and saturation, a cool tint, sensor noise, and an optional date stamp.

About Digicam Filter

Compact digital cameras from the early 2000s had small sensors and on-camera flash, which gave photos hard contrast, strong saturation, a slightly cool tint, and noticeable noise. This filter imitates that look by raising contrast and saturation, shifting the color balance toward blue, adding random noise, and darkening the corners. An optional orange date stamp is placed in the lower right corner. Processing happens on a canvas in your browser.

Questions about Digicam Filter

Does the filter reduce the resolution like an old camera?

No. The output keeps the pixel dimensions of your photo. For a more period-correct result, resize the image to about 1600 by 1200 pixels first, which matches a 2 megapixel camera of that time.
