Dugo Selo, Croatia
What it is
Webcam Effects is a browser photo booth that adds live effects to a camera feed and saves photos or clips to a device. It offers 31 effects, including thermal, night vision, cyberpunk, VHS, glitch, kaleidoscope and digital rain. Capture options include a regular photo, a photo with a three-second timer, and video recording; effects can be changed while a clip is being recorded. Clips are limited to 60 seconds. Effects run in JavaScript in the browser and continue to work offline after the page loads. The camera stream, processing and saved picture stay in the browser tab, and the site says its servers cannot receive camera or microphone streams. Current Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari are supported on desktop, with Chrome on Android and Safari on iOS. Recordings save as WebM in Chrome, Edge and Firefox, or MP4 in Safari. The free plan costs nothing. Downloaded files include a small web.camera mark.
For and against
For
- 31 live effects for camera feeds
- Photo, timer-photo and video capture

Against

The verdict
Webcam Effects provides browser-based camera effects with photo and short-video capture, including offline operation after loading. Consider the 60-second clip limit, download mark and lack of virtual-camera support before choosing it.
Who it suits
It suits people who want to add effects to camera photos or short clips from a supported browser. It is not a direct virtual camera for Zoom, Microsoft Teams or Google Meet.
