What is FilterCam?
FilterCam is a filter camera for Android that copies the color of any photo and lets you shoot with it live. Filter DNA reads a photo's color, tone, contrast, faded blacks, split toning and vignette into 17 values, saves them as your own filter and puts it in the look strip under the viewfinder. Each shutter can save up to six aspect ratios at once (Full, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3, 3:4), shown on the live preview as colored corner frames. Photos stay on your phone — there is no account and no upload.
How it works
From someone's photo to your shot in three steps
- 1
Pick a photo
A screenshot, a friend's shot, an old picture of yours. Filter DNA reads it into 17 values and shows a plain summary like “Warm · Faded blacks”.
- 2
Shoot with the look
Your DNA lands in the look strip under the viewfinder. You see the filter on the live preview before you press the shutter.
- 3
Get every format
Switch on the ratios you need. Colored corner frames show each crop live, and one tap saves all of them as one set.
Features
One camera instead of three apps
No more shooting twice for a different ratio, or bouncing between a camera, a crop app and a filter app.

FAQ
What does Filter DNA actually copy?
Color, tone and contrast, including faded blacks, split toning and vignette — 17 values in total. It copies the look of a photo, not its content, and tells you when only a partial match is possible.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. FilterCam has no account and no upload. Filter DNA runs on your phone, and the Wi-Fi dashboard only serves a browser on your own network that knows the password you set.
How do I share a look with a friend?
Share it as a short FC code or a QR card. When your friend pastes the code or scans the card in FilterCam, they get exactly the same look.
How many aspect ratios can one shutter save?
The free plan saves 2 at once. Pro saves up to 6: Full, 16:9, 9:16, 1:1, 4:3 and 3:4.
Does it work for video?
You can record video and edit it with a filter and intensity. Video filters are part of Pro. Frames and date stamps are for photos only.
What does Pro cost?
Pro starts with a 7-day free trial, then $3.99 per month or $19.99 per year, or a one-time $49.99 lifetime purchase. Prices are in US dollars and may differ by country in the store. Subscriptions renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends.
