Old Time Camera

The old-time-camera icon represents vintage photography and retro camera functionality in media applications. Featuring a classic camera design from earlier eras, this icon has become the standard representation for vintage photography, retro photo effects, and classic camera aesthetics across photo editing and nostalgia platforms.

In modern applications like Instagram's filters or photo editing apps like VSCO, you'll see this icon accessing vintage photo effects and retro camera modes. It appears in filter galleries when applying classic photography styles, or in applications like photo apps when users want to create nostalgic imagery and vintage-style photographs.

From a creative perspective, the vintage camera symbol communicates more than just 'old' - it specifically indicates nostalgic aesthetics, classic photography quality, and the intentional use of retro styling for artistic effect. This style choice helps users create period-appropriate imagery and nostalgic content.

Old Time Camera is one of 329 icons in Flat Color Icons, made by Icons8 and released under MIT. It is drawn on a 48 × 48 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds OldTimeCameraIcon to components/icons/flat-color-icons-old-time-camera.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed OldTimeCameraIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Old Time Camera icon, or any of 329 Flat Color Icons icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's multicolor, so it keeps its own colors.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 48 × 48 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It keeps its own colors in light and dark mode, so check it against both backgrounds. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Old Time Camera", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. OldTimeCameraIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <OldTimeCameraIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes. MIT allows commercial use; keep the license notice when you ship the icons' source files. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

No visible credit is required: MIT only asks that you keep the license notice if you ship the icons' source files. Icons installed with the shadcn CLI already start with a comment naming Flat Color Icons, Icons8 and the license.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
