What is FAX OFFICE 1987?

FAX OFFICE 1987 is a browser-based film camera simulator that emulates 8 legendary film cameras (Contax T2, Leica M3, Nikon F, Pentax 67, Polaroid SX-70, Yashica T4, Mamiya 7, Plaubel Makina 67) with per-pixel rendering pipelines calibrated against real film datasheets. It runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no signup, no install. Free tier includes the Contax T2 unlimited.

How is FAX OFFICE 1987 different from VSCO or Lightroom presets?

VSCO and Lightroom presets apply the same global LUT to every photo. FAX OFFICE 1987 uses per-pixel rendering pipelines per camera — tonal curve, color grading, lens character, vignette, halation bloom, and grain are computed independently per pixel based on each film stock's measured properties (RMS grain values, density curves, color sensitivity layers). The result responds to your photo's tones rather than stamping a fixed look on top.

Does FAX OFFICE 1987 upload my photos to a server?

No. All photo processing happens locally in your browser using Canvas 2D. Your images never leave your device. There is no account, no upload endpoint, and no cookies required for the simulator. Only anonymous Plausible analytics pageviews are sent to a server.

Which film cameras can I simulate online with FAX OFFICE 1987?

Eight cameras: Contax T2 (1990, Fuji Superia 400), Leica M3 (1954, Kodak Tri-X 400), Nikon F (1971, Tri-X pushed 3200, Daido Moriyama era), Pentax 67 (1969, Kodak Portra 160), Polaroid SX-70 (1972, Impossible B&W), Yashica T4 (1990, Kodak Gold 200), Mamiya 7 (1995, Ilford HP5 Plus), Plaubel Makina 67 (1978, Fuji Acros 100).

Is there a Contax T2 filter online I can use for free?

Yes. The Contax T2 emulation in FAX OFFICE 1987 is free and unlimited with no signup. It runs entirely in your browser and matches the cool teal-green shadow shift, warm highlights, and Zeiss micro-contrast 'pop' of a real Contax T2 loaded with Fuji Superia 400. Visit faxoffice1987.com to try it.
