What is 2016?

2016 brings back the warm, soft, slightly faded color of the filters everyone used on Instagram around 2016.

It’s a film look: no AI, just the color of that era over your photo as it is.

Works best on

  • City and street photos
  • Sunny days
  • Throwback posts and photo dumps

2016 questions

Does 2016 use AI?

No. 2016 is a film look: Flashley adds the camera’s color and character with its own code, so your face, pose and background stay exactly as they were. Film looks are never sent to an AI service.

Can I use 2016 on a whole carousel?

Yes. Choose 4 to 6 photos and Flashley gives every one the same 2016 look, so the post matches.

How much does 2016 cost?

Flashley is free to download, and each iPhone gets one free AI preview. Full-quality photos in 2016 and every other look come with Flashley Plus, from $6.99 a week in the US. Prices differ by country.
