Darktape AI is an analog-horror generation product focused on found-footage stills and VHS-style clips — night vision, REC/timecode HUDs, tape degradation, and handheld POV dread.

What can you generate with Darktape AI?

You can generate found-footage horror stills and short clips: green phosphor night vision, consumer VHS camcorder grain, security-camera feeds, REC overlays, timecode burn-in, tracking lines, and claustrophobic handheld POV. Outputs are suitable for analog horror, creepypasta, short-form social, and indie proof-of-concept reels.

Can I insert myself into a found-footage scene?

Yes. Darktape can use a webcam capture or uploaded JPG/PNG as a reference, check it for celebrity matches, then insert the cleared subject into a generated found-footage still before making the clip.

How much does Darktape AI cost?

Darktape starts with free credits. Paid subscriptions add monthly credits for generating found-footage stills, insert-self edits, and VHS-style clips.

Who is Darktape AI for?

Darktape AI is for horror creators, YouTube and TikTok analog-horror channels, indie filmmakers pre-visualizing recovered-footage sequences, and artists who want VHS/night-vision aesthetics without tuning generic image models from scratch.

Does Darktape AI support night vision and VHS effects?

Yes. Darktape is built around analog horror signals: green IR night vision, camcorder HUD overlays, tape dropout, chromatic aberration, timestamp burn-in, interlaced framing, and handheld shake.

How do I start using Darktape AI?
