AI Digital-Camera Photo Effect App

AI Photo Editor app built on Nano Banana, with over 60M views on TikTok and $20k+ in revenue. Highly profitable and scalable consumer app

In plain English

Photos can take on the look of a digital camera in a single tap inside Lenz, a phone app from Błażej Sawicki. You see a free preview, then a weekly or yearly subscription unlocks the full picture. People who want that camera look pay because editing it by hand is fiddly, and they find the app through short videos and search in the phone store. The AI does almost all of the picture work and the billing, while Błażej still checks quality, helps users, and handles photos that come out strange.
