Instant Camera / Retro Camera Free Icons | Vector Assets

Retro and Adorable, the Symbol of the “Analog Photo Experience”

A charming retro instant camera icon featuring a large lens in the center of a roundish, almost square body, with a viewfinder and flash placed next to it. It brings to mind the excitement unique to analog—where the photographic film is ejected on the spot when you press the shutter—and the thrill of waiting for it to develop. It is the perfect material when you want to add warmth and a nostalgic atmosphere to a design that digital cameras lack.

Specific Usage Scenes and Suggested Applications

This material is active in scenes that foresee a fun photo experience, from displaying categories on a photo blog to invitations for an event.

• For “Category Icons” on Photo Blogs and Camera Sites: Ideal as an icon indicating categories like “Toy Camera,” “Film Photography,” and “Retro Gadgets” on blogs for female camera enthusiasts or websites introducing how to take pictures. You can express a casual and playful photo life that draws a line from full-fledged equipment like DSLRs. The friendly design has the effect of making the site’s atmosphere look bright and stylish.
• For Guidance on “Shooting Corners” at Events and Weddings: On guide signs for “Photo Booths” or “Instant Camera Corners” where guests can freely take pictures at parties or wedding after-parties. By placing this icon prominently, you intuitively convey that “You can take commemorative photos here” and “You can take the photos you took home.” It also pairs perfectly with event decorations that have a handmade feel.
• For Decorating “Memory Records” in Travelogues and Albums: As a decoration for digital photo albums or online travelogues. By adding this icon like a stamp next to photos of places visited or things eaten, you can emphasize its meaning as a record of memories, “capturing a precious moment.” It is also popular as a decoration material for planners and diaries.
• As a “One-Point” in Retro/Antique Designs: As a one-point in designs themed on “Showa Retro” or “90s Culture.” By combining it with illustrations of cassette tapes or records, you can produce a nostalgic worldview that makes you feel the era. Using it on cafe menus or variety store POPs can add a nostalgic yet fresh atmosphere.
• For Announcing Photo-Related Workshops and “Cheki (Instax) Sessions”: As the main visual for announcement banners of photography workshops using instant cameras or photo sessions (Cheki sessions) with idols and talents. It is the most effective visual sign that can convey the characteristics of the event, “Take it on the spot and hand it over on the spot,” at a glance without explaining it in words.

Editing Tips and the Merits of the EPS Format

Completely free for both commercial and personal use. In addition to PNG and SVG that can be used immediately on the web, EPS data that is easy to process according to the design is also available as a set.

By utilizing the EPS format (vector data), you can freely change the color scheme of the camera. Using software like Adobe Illustrator, changing the body color to pop colors like “pastel pink” or “mint green” makes it cuter, while changing it to a two-tone “brown” or “black” gives it a classic and calm impression.
Also, by drawing a piece of white film slightly protruding from the bottom of the camera, you can arrange it into an icon that further emphasizes the fun of the “moment you took the picture.”
