8 Apps Like Huji Cam (and When Each One Is the Right Pick)

The quick answer

For the closest Huji-style capture, try Dazz Cam on iPhone, Kuji Cam on Android or 1998 Cam on both. If you like the wait of a real disposable, Dispo and Lapse make you wait before you see the photos. If the photo already exists in your camera roll, you do not need a new camera app at all; the free steps are further down this page.

1. Dazz Cam: the most camera styles on iPhone

Dazz Cam is the app most people mean when they say "like Huji, but more". Instead of one fixed look, it offers a long list of camera styles, from 35mm and instant film to CCD digital and video looks, with manual controls on top. It was rated 4.8 from about 116,000 ratings on the US App Store when we checked. Pick it for variety. Skip it if you are on Android: we could not find an official Google Play listing from its developer, and several look-alike apps use similar names, so check the developer before installing.

2. 1998 Cam: the closest match on both platforms

1998 Cam keeps the spirit of Huji's era in its name and offers live filters, a classic date stamp and gallery import for photos and video. It is available on iPhone and Android, the easy pick for a friend group split between platforms. It contains ads, and the paid tiers include monthly, yearly and a $39.99 lifetime option. Pick it if you want one app on both phones. Skip it if ads in a camera app bother you and you do not want to pay.

3. Kuji Cam: the Android favorite

Kuji Cam is only on Google Play, and for many Android users it is the go-to Huji-style app. It has the date stamp and light-leak style look in the camera, plus gallery import, and its listing says it has no subscriptions: extras are small one-off purchases, and Premium removes the ads. Pick it if you are on Android and want to pay once or not at all. Skip it if you are on iPhone, because there is no iOS version.

4. NOMO CAM: collectible cameras

NOMO CAM treats each camera as something to collect. You buy cameras individually or join NOMO PRO, and some of its instant-style cameras even make you wait for a short development time, which PRO can turn off. Importing existing photos is a PRO feature. Pick it if you enjoy switching between distinct, well-designed cameras. Skip it if you just want one Huji-like look without building a collection.

5. FIMO: a viewfinder-first analog app

FIMO puts a film-camera viewfinder on screen and leans into the ritual of framing through it. The free version carries a watermark and ads, which Fimo Pro removes. Pick it if the viewfinder experience matters to you. Skip it if you want lots of looks to switch between.

6. Dispo: the wait-until-tomorrow camera

Dispo recreates the disposable-camera wait. You shoot during the day and the photos develop every day at 9am, according to its App Store listing. Max is an optional subscription. Pick it if the delayed reveal is the whole point for you. Skip it if you need to post a photo tonight, or if you want to edit photos you already took, which its listing does not mention.

7. Lapse: a disposable camera for close friends

Lapse is less a filter app and more a private social camera: you shoot first, the photos develop later, and you share them with a small group of friends. It was rated 4.8 from about 118,000 ratings on the US App Store when we checked. Pick it if you want a shared, low-pressure photo journal with friends. Skip it if you want a solo camera with lots of looks, or if you are on Android, where we could not find it.

8. Stunna: for photos you already took

Stunna is not a Huji-style camera, and we would not recommend it as one. It edits photos that already exist: you pick a shot from your camera roll and apply an AI look such as Disposable, Digicam Y2K, Night Flash or VHS Camcorder. That suits the common case where the moment already happened and you want it to look like a disposable or Canon G7X style flash shot. It is free to download with a Pro subscription, and AI results vary from photo to photo.

Choose something else if you want the live, in-camera ritual of not seeing the shot until it develops (Huji, Dazz, Dispo or Lapse), a shared camera with friends (Dispo or Lapse), a one-time price (Dazz, 1998 Cam or Kuji Cam), or exact, repeatable film emulation.

Capture apps vs editing the photos you already have

Huji, Dazz, Dispo and Lapse are cameras. The look is applied as you shoot, and part of the appeal is the ritual: a small viewfinder, a shutter sound and, in some apps, a wait. That makes them great for planned moments, and no help for photos you already took.

Editing tools work the other way round. You keep your phone's best camera, sharp focus and good exposure, then decide on the look afterwards. For the shooting side, our guide to disposable camera photos explains how to frame and light for that look, and the warm film look guide covers the color.

Try the Huji look on your own photo now

You can rebuild most of the Huji look on a photo you already have, free and without installing anything. These settings are a good starting point; every step runs in your browser, so the photo stays on your device.

1. Color and grain: open the free disposable camera filter, choose Weekend roll and set intensity to around 70% with grain around 55%.
2. A light leak: pick Warm edge leak in the light leak filter and keep the leak strength low so it reads as an accident rather than an overlay.
3. The date: finish with the timestamp camera, choosing the '98 style format in orange at the bottom right and a size between 80% and 110%.
4. Optional texture: if the photo is very clean, add grain to the photo at a low setting and compare at full size before saving.
5. For a digital-camera feel instead of film, use the digicam filter with Classic 2004.

How to pick the right app

Four questions narrow the list quickly.

• Android or iPhone? On Android, start with Kuji Cam or 1998 Cam. On iPhone, Dazz Cam has the most choice.
• One-time price or subscription? Kuji Cam has no subscriptions, Dazz Cam offers a one-time Pro and 1998 Cam a lifetime option.
• Shoot now or edit later? Capture apps for planned moments; an editor or the free browser tools for photos that already exist.
• Instant or delayed? If waiting is part of the fun, Dispo or Lapse. If you want to post the same night, anything else.

Where these facts come from

Platforms, price models and features come from each app's US App Store and Google Play listings, checked on 2026-10-09; ratings were re-checked on 2026-10-12. Store listings change, so confirm the current price before you buy. Huji Cam, Dazz Cam and the other apps named here belong to their developers; Stunna is not affiliated with any of them.
