Disclaimer: If you don’t condone Polaroid simulation, we respect and understand your opinion. This is not a post that will resonate with most Polaroid purists.

I myself don’t have a Polaroid camera. I wish I did, but I don’t. Regardless, I am smitten by the dreamy quality that is unmistakably Polaroid.

Enter Rollip.com. A simple site that offers a two-step process (that takes barely two-minutes) to transform any image you upload into a simulated Polaroid. I was delighted by the results and will certainly visit Rollip again and again. I can feel it in my photo bones.

I hope today you can find a few minutes to play a little over at Rollip. If you are as happy with the results as I was, add your image to Flickr or your blog and leave a link in the comments. Let’s see what kind of shot you would have taken with a Polaroid camera if you had one handy.

  9. oh, i condone it and then some! i do love original polaroids, but i have to wonder sometimes if they could look as good as these simulations i keep seeing out there. these two are WONDERFUL!

    coincidentally, i just found a polaroid camera at the second-hand store. it was $2.50, so i got it. now to find cheap film. 🙂

    i recently started using rollip. i love it! i think it can take some ordinary photos i take to a new level of interesting. here are a few i did on rollip.

  25. This is fun; and a lot cheaper! 🙂 There is another similar website where you download a small app that will convert your photos without needing to upload them: http://www.poladroid.net. It’s kind of neat as it shows you the polaroid "development" and you can save it at any time while it "develops." K.

  33. I might, just might have a little play around with this feature when I absolutely cannot get my hands on anymore polaroid film!

    Thanks for the link 🙂
