Questions
What makes a photo look like VHS?+
Washed-out color, slightly soft detail, color that bleeds sideways, horizontal scan lines and noise, plus an on-screen label.
Can I change or remove the PLAY label?+
Yes. Type any text, such as REC or a time, or clear it to hide it.
How is this different from the glitch effect?+
VHS is a full retro tape look with faded color and noise. Glitch Effect only adds the digital damage.

No. The photo is turned into a VHS frame in your browser and never leaves your device.
