Shot on soft film

Soft Film gives a phone photo a dreamy 35mm film look, with soft window light, pastel tones and fine grain. Your scene and outfit stay exactly where they were.

Before: the photo before Soft Film
After: the Soft Film look

Example: the Soft Film recipe on an AI-generated model photo (not a real person), made with the same AI the app uses. Drag to compare. Your result depends on your photo.

Soft Film: dreamy 35mm snapshot. Soft Film keeps your photo and changes how it feels. The scene and your outfit stay unchanged, while the light turns into soft window light and the colors move to a pastel grade. Highlights pick up a gentle halation glow, a faint light leak brushes one edge, and fine grain settles over everything, like a 35mm snapshot. None of it touches you: skin texture stays natural and unsmoothed, and your face, skin tone, body shape and expression remain as they were.

What you get

  • Soft window light
  • A pastel color grade
  • A gentle halation glow around the highlights
  • A faint light leak at the edge and fine grain
  • Scene, outfit and natural skin texture unchanged

FAQ

Soft Film questions

Is the Soft Film look free?

Yes, on the free plan: Soft Film uses 1 of the 2 free AI credits you get every day. Pro gives you 80 credits a month instead, plus our best-quality AI, every look, no watermark and no ads.

Will it still look like me?

That's the idea. The Soft Film recipe tells the AI to keep your face, skin tone, body shape and expression as they are, and an on-device likeness check runs on the result. If it doesn't look like you, tap Retry free.

How is Soft Film different from the retro effects?

Soft Film is an AI look: it relights and regrades your photo in the cloud, after you agree once. Effects like Disposable '98 or Instant '82 edit your photo on your device, use no credits and never upload anything.

Will Soft Film change my background?

No, that stays put. The recipe keeps the scene and your outfit as they were in your photo. What changes is the mood: soft window light, a pastel grade, a glow around bright spots, a faint light leak and fine grain.
