In short

ChimneyCam: Catch Santa is a photo and video app that adds a realistic Santa, elf, or reindeer to pictures of your home, lit to match your tree lights and styled as CCTV, doorbell, trail camera, or Polaroid footage. It is aimed at parents who want to show children staged "proof" of Santa's visit. One standout detail is the privacy setup: photos with people in them are blocked on the device, and uploads are deleted from servers within 24 hours.

About

Give your kids proof that Santa really came.

Take a photo of your living room, Christmas tree, fireplace or yard. ChimneyCam adds a realistic Santa, a little elf or a reindeer — lit by your own tree lights, standing at the right size on your floor, with soft shadows and the grain of a real night camera. No stickers, no cartoon cut-outs.

Then make it look like it was caught on camera: • CCTV night vision with a red REC dot and a ticking timestamp • Doorbell camera, trail camera or a Polaroid print • Set the time to Christmas Eve, 2:13 a.m. — or any moment you like

Turn it into a 10-second video and watch your kids' faces on Christmas morning.

SCENES • Santa kneeling by the tree, placing gifts • Santa caught eating the cookies and milk • "Shh!" — Santa spots the camera and raises a finger to his lips • An elf peeking out from behind the tree • A reindeer standing in your snowy yard • Santa greeting your dog or cat

MADE FOR PARENTS • Show My Kids: a clean, full-resolution version to play on your phone or TV • Share: a 9:16 version ready for Stories • Secret gallery with an optional Face ID lock so little ones can't find it early

PRIVACY FIRST • Nothing is sent until you agree to the AI consent screen • Photos with people in them are blocked on your device • Your photo and results are deleted from our servers within 24 hours • No ads, no tracking

CREDITS Your first photo is free (preview quality with a watermark). Photo = 1 credit, video = 4 credits. If a creation ever fails, the credits come back automatically.
