Polaroid style refers to a visual aesthetic that mimics classic instant photos produced by Polaroid cameras. It typically features a white border around the image, with the bottom edge thicker than the others. The photos often have a square or near-square format. The visual tone includes faded or desaturated colors, soft focus, and a grainy texture to replicate the look of vintage film. This style emphasizes casual, candid moments and evokes a nostalgic, retro feel, often associated with the 1970s to 1990s. It is commonly used in social media filters, graphic design, scrapbooking, and fashion photography.
