Type anything — a name, a lyric, a love letter — and LetterCam turns your camera into a live mosaic of your own text. Not a filter on top of pixels. The letters are the picture.
Live demo — this mosaic is being drawn right now, in letters.
No editing timeline, no layers, no learning curve. You watch the final image the whole time — the viewfinder is the artwork.
Your text flows across the image, letter by letter, wrapping line after line. A built-in meter tells you when your words fill the frame exactly once.
The whole mosaic re-renders on the GPU every frame — pinch to change letter size, swap fonts and palettes, and see it instantly. Front and back camera.
Stills re-render at up to 8K with a razor-sharp glyph atlas. Posters, prints, wallpapers — every letter stays crisp.
Every tile below is rendered live from the same picture — only the settings change. That's the whole app: same image, endlessly different stories.
A custom GPU pipeline renders thousands of glyphs per frame at 60 fps — even at the finest letter sizes.
The mosaic spells out your words in order. Zoom in on a print and read the story back.
From typewriter to Zapfino, with a continuous weight slider and italics.
Letters can grow, thicken, or swap glyphs with the light beneath them — dark fades to dots, highlights go bold.
Tint the type, drop color blocks behind each letter, and set the canvas — dark, light, or any color.
Shoot live with either camera and every lens, or letterize any photo you already have — RAW included.
Stills re-render offscreen with a high-resolution atlas, sized for real printing.
Save a look you love and come back to it with one tap.
Everything renders on your device. No accounts, no uploads, no tracking.
