VHS — AI Retro filter

Glitchy 80s VHS tape.

Glitchy 80s VHS: scan lines, chroma bleed, tracking errors, a timestamp in the corner counting a date that predates streaming. This filter degrades your photo into tape-era texture with loving accuracy — colors smearing at edges, brightness pulsing, the visual noise of a memory rewound too many times. It's nostalgia as texture, and it turns any modern photo into found home-video footage.
