HD Camera is a free app for selfies, short videos and quick edits on phones and tablets running Android 6.0 or later. It comes from iMediaStar and combines a 4K-capable camera with real-time filters, face detection, a photo editor and a collage maker.
Who gets the most from a selfie-focused 4K camera
The app is aimed at casual photographers who post to social media. It offers a selfie camera, face detection and automatic stabilization, which fits portrait and short-clip shooting. Its content rating is Everyone, and it is tagged under photography.
People who want manual control are also covered in part. The app includes scene modes, white balance, ISO and exposure compensation or lock, though how deep these controls go can vary by phone.
Shooting tools: filters, HDR and quick snap
Filters can be previewed in real time, so the effect is visible before a photo is taken or a video starts. The camera also supports HDR, Quick Snap and continuous shooting, plus HD video recording and a capture timer.
Several small settings are listed too. The shutter sound can be turned off, the save path can be moved to an external SD card, and guide lines such as a golden ratio line are available. Photos can carry a date and timestamp, location coordinates or custom text, and GPS geotagging is optional.
Editing photos, collages and video trims
After shooting, the built-in photo editor adjusts brightness, contrast, vignette, fade and temperature. A collage maker and photo grid combine several pictures into one image.
Video is handled with a trim and cut tool. Anyone with specific export needs should check the available formats and limits inside the app.
Ads and in-app purchases
HD Camera costs nothing to start, though ads appear and some extras are sold as in-app purchases.
Version 3.8.9 is the current release, updated on October 22, 2026. The camera first launched on August 5, 2020 and needs Android 6.0 or newer.
