SquishyFile's video filter tool applies a real VHS look — scanlines, tracking noise, tape warmth — or one of four artistic styles (pencil sketch, cross-hatch, thermal vision, neon cyberpunk), rendered live by a WebGL shader right in your browser. Ten styles total, six of them VHS/camcorder presets from different eras. Preview any style on your own clip before committing, then export an MP4 with the effect baked in and your original audio intact.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I kept seeing "VHS filter" apps that were either a native app locked to one platform, gated behind a subscription after 2-3 free renders, or — worse — an "online VHS filter" that makes you upload your clip to a server first.
So I built this as a browser tool instead. Everything renders through a single WebGL2 shader, live, right in the tab:
- VHS filter — actually 6 different tape/camcorder presets (Classic VHS, 80s Camcorder, 90s Camcorder, Damaged Tape, Security Cam, Analog Broadcast), each tuned differently — scanlines, tracking glitches, color bleed, even burned-in timecodes on some of them.
- 4 artistic filters — pencil sketch, cross-hatch (engraving-style), thermal vision, and a neon cyberpunk edge-glow look. Each is a full shader re-render, not a semi-transparent overlay.
You preview every style live on your own clip before rendering — no guessing which one actually suits the footage. Export keeps your original audio (the live preview is muted on purpose, just for fast comparison) and works on any device with a browser, phone included.
It's part of SquishyFile, a free toolkit I build solo and monetize through display ads only — no paywall, no watermark, no daily cap on any tool.
Would love to know which preset people reach for most — I built way more VHS variants than artistic ones and I'm curious if that bet was right.
