Check Screen Time settings

If your Mac is using macOS Catalina and you use Screen Time, make sure your camera is turned on and apps that use the camera have time available.

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Screen Time.
2. Click Content & Privacy in the sidebar, then click Apps.
3. Make sure the checkbox for Camera is selected.
4. Click App Limits in the sidebar. If you need to use your camera with an app in the list, make sure the checkbox for Limits is not selected.

Give apps permission

If your Mac is using macOS Mojave or later, choose which apps can use your built-in camera:

1. Choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Security & Privacy.
2. Click the Privacy tab, then click Camera in the sidebar.
3. Select the checkbox next to the apps that you want to use your camera in. You might be prompted to quit and reopen an app before it can use your camera.

Try another app

Try to use your camera in another app. For example, if you can't use your camera in FaceTime, open Photo Booth.

Reset the SMC

Your webcam is a versatile tool

You'd be surprised how many times people reach for cameras to do things other than take photos! One of the reasons we originally built this tool was to help straighten and curl my hair during days we didn't have access to a mirror. Fortunately for all of us, you don't need a mirror if you have access to a webcam!

5. To take a picture, press the camera button below the camera image feed.
   

How to download your image

Why filters?

Filters are a good way to make your photo look more professional, and bring more emotion into a an otherwise ordinary photo. The filters this tool uses perform advanced calculations to create the prettiest photos without having to be an expert photo editor.
