How it works

  1. Choose a photo from your device.
  2. Pick a film and, if you like, the date stamp.
  3. Download the photo.

What makes a photo look like a Polaroid

Instant film has low contrast, lifted blacks, soft highlights and a slight green or cyan cast in the shadows. Faces look soft and warm, and nothing is quite sharp. The Polaroid film above copies that recipe; Instax is the brighter, more saturated Fujifilm cousin.

Make it look like a real print

Use a square-ish crop, a plain background and soft daylight. To finish the look, add a date in the corner, or put three or four photos in a strip with the photo strip maker.
