Most camera apps hand you a curated set of presets. Distorted Camera builds new filter chains on the fly — random combinations of CIFilter effects layered into something neither you nor the app has ever produced before. Capture live, or import photos from your camera roll and run them through the same engine in the post-capture editor.
Every shot runs through a fresh chain of stacked image effects. Save the ones you love, regenerate the ones you don't.
Shoot through the chain in real time, or import from your camera roll and edit after the fact with adjustable filter parameters.
Uses the same Core Image pipeline that powers Apple's own photo effects — fast, on-device, and high quality.
One-time purchase on the App Store and Google Play. No ads, no subscriptions, no upsells.
