Harsh flash candid
Turn clean portraits into off-center direct-flash party snapshots
Upload a photo and get the kind of 2005 party snapshot you'd find on an old memory card: hard flash, washed-out color, soft blur, digital noise, awkward framing, and a small orange date stamp. Use it for Y2K digicam edits, old digital camera filter posts, and casual throwback selfies while keeping the person recognizable.
