Silly Scan

The time warp scan camera. No ads. No subscriptions. Nothing to unlock.

Ready when you are

Your browser will ask to use the camera. The picture stays on this device.

How to get silly

  1. Prop it up

    Lean the phone or laptop against something so it can stay still on its own.

  2. Press Go

    Count down from three with the screen, then get ready to move.

  3. Move while the line passes

    Lean, spin, stick out your tongue, wave an arm. Whatever the blue line has already gone past is frozen forever.

Made by a dad, for his kids

My kids kept asking for the time warp scan filter, and every version I found wanted money, an account, or their attention. So I built this one instead.

The app does the same thing, only smoother: it saves straight into your photo library, records the sweep as a video, and works without a browser tab in the way.

Everything happens in your browser

The camera picture is drawn straight onto this page and thrown away when you close the tab. Nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there is no server to send it to. Photos and videos are only saved when you press a save button, and they go straight to your own device.
