The best 80s filter app for iPhone

Updated September 12, 2026

Quick answer

80s Filter is on iPhone two ways: a native app on the App Store, and a web app that runs in Safari at 80sfilter.try2.app with nothing to install. Both apply the same 1980s AI restyle. Use the app for a home-screen icon and native feel, or the website if you'd rather not install anything.

Two ways to get it on iPhone

80s Filter ships as a native iPhone app — 80s Filter — Retro Photo Editor on the App Store — and as a web app at 80sfilter.try2.app that runs directly in Safari. Both apply the same AI-driven 1980s restyle to a photo you upload.

Which one to pick

What to look for in an iPhone 80s filter app generally

Whichever app you use, check for: no watermark on the result, a clear answer on what happens to your uploaded photo (is it stored, is it used to train AI), and a real subscription price shown before you commit. See our Privacy Policy for exactly how 80s Filter handles your photo.

Try it on your photo

Upload a photo and 80s Filter restyles it into a 1980s portrait — hair, wardrobe, film look and all.

FAQ

Do I need the app, or does the website work fine?

The website works fully in Safari on iPhone — the app is a convenience, not a requirement.

Is there a free trial in the app?

No — both the app and the web app are subscription-only, with the same Weekly and Yearly plans.
