Camera with filters

See a look live on your camera, take the photo, and keep editing it. It all happens on your device.

Take a photo with a look on it

Your browser will ask to use the camera. The picture is filtered here on your device; nothing is recorded or uploaded.

How it works

  1. Turn on the camera. Press Turn on camera and choose Allow when your browser asks. On a phone, the switch button changes between the front and back camera.
  2. Choose a look and more. Pick a category, then tap looks to stack them, each with its own strength and adjustments. Background, Light, Text and Stickers work on the live view too, as you frame the shot.
  3. Take the photo. Press the round shutter. The photo opens in the Photo editor with everything you set still adjustable, where you can change it, crop or add more, then download.

What you see live, and what you save

The live view is a small copy of each camera frame, at most 480 pixels on its long side, with your edits worked out over it many times a second. If your device takes too long per frame, the preview gets smaller and skips frames so the page stays responsive. The photo is different: the shutter takes the camera’s whole frame at the size the camera sends it, and your edits are applied to that full picture in the Photo editor.

The front camera is shown mirrored, the way a mirror shows you. The photo is saved the way others see you, as most phone cameras do. Looks with a date stamp print today’s date in the corner, live and on the photo.

Person looks, the background and lights need to know where the person is. The first time you use one, your browser downloads a person-detection model from this site and finds the person on your device, live, every few frames. In the Photo editor the person is found again in the full photo, with finer edges.

The camera stays on your device

The camera is opened by your browser, only after you press Turn on camera, and only with your permission. Frames are drawn and filtered on this page and are not recorded, kept or sent anywhere. The camera switches off when you press Turn off, switch to another tab or leave the page. The photo you take is handed to the Photo editor inside this browser; it is not uploaded.

If you said no to the camera by mistake, allow it for this site in your browser’s settings (often under the icon beside the address), then press Try again. No camera, or already have the picture? Use Photo filters on a photo from your device instead.

Common questions

Is my camera video recorded or uploaded?
No. The camera picture is filtered in your browser and shown on the page; nothing is recorded or sent anywhere. Only the photo you take is kept, and it stays in this browser for the Photo editor.
Why does the browser ask for camera permission?
Browsers never let a page use the camera without asking. The request appears only after you press Turn on camera. You can take the permission back at any time in your browser's site settings.
Can I use the back camera on my phone?
Yes. When your device has more than one camera, a switch button sits beside the shutter. It changes between the front and back camera.
Is the photo full resolution?
The photo is the camera's whole frame at the size your browser receives it, which is often lower than the phone's own camera app can take. The live preview is smaller than the photo, to keep it smooth.
Can I change the look after taking the photo?
Yes. The photo opens in the Photo editor with the look applied at full strength. Lower its strength, adjust its grain, fade or dark corners, add up to three more looks, or remove it.
Why does my selfie look flipped compared with the preview?
The front camera preview is mirrored, like a mirror. The photo is saved unmirrored, the way other people see you. If you prefer the mirrored version, flip it in the Photo editor under Rotate & size.
Is there a watermark?
No. A small "Made with t.myu" credit sits in the bottom-left corner at first; tap the × on it to take it off, on the camera or later in the Photo editor.
Is it free?
Yes, with no sign-up.
