How it works

Three steps. Zero strangers.

T-MINUS · SETUP

Prop your iPhone

Lean it against a wall, ledge, water bottle, or backpack — roughly chest height, screen facing you. No tripod required.

T-MINUS · TIMER

Set the countdown & burst

Pick any delay from 0.5 seconds to 5 minutes and choose how many burst shots to fire. Tap the shutter and walk into frame.

CAPTURE · 00:00

Keep only the best

Tripix rates every frame in the burst and surfaces your best shots — mid-blink and half-smile frames never touch your camera roll.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How do I set an iPhone camera timer longer than 10 seconds?
The built-in iPhone Camera app only offers 3, 5, or 10 second delays — there's no way to extend it. Tripix Cam removes that limit with self timers from 0.5 seconds up to 5 full minutes, so you have time to prop your phone, walk into frame, and pose. Learn more →
How can I take photos of myself when traveling solo?
Prop your iPhone on a ledge or bag, set a 30-second to 5-minute timer in Tripix Cam, walk into frame, and let burst mode capture a sequence. The app rates the shots so you keep only the best — no tripod, no asking strangers. Learn more →
How do I take a group photo with everyone in it, including me?
Set a 15–60 second timer, frame the group, tap the shutter, and join the shot. A customizable burst fires several frames so one blink doesn't ruin the only photo you have. Learn more →
Can I take a photo without pressing the button?
Yes — Tripix Cam is a hands-free camera. Set the countdown once and it captures automatically, which also eliminates the camera shake caused by tapping the shutter (a big deal for night photos). Learn more →
What is burst mode, and how do I pick the best photo from a burst?
Burst mode captures a rapid sequence so at least one frame catches the perfect moment. Tripix Cam's intelligent photo rating system identifies your best shots automatically, so your camera roll isn't flooded with near-duplicates. Learn more →
Do I need a tripod to take pictures of myself?
No. Lean your iPhone against a wall, water bottle, or bag at roughly chest height, set a long timer, and step into frame. The long countdown replaces the Bluetooth remote a tripod setup usually needs. Learn more →
What's the best self timer camera app for iPhone?
Look for timer range, burst control, and how the app helps you choose the keeper afterwards. Tripix Cam covers all three — 0.5s–5min timers, customizable bursts, 2x/5x zoom, and automatic best-shot selection — free with a 4.9★ rating. Learn more →
Is Tripix Cam private? Where do my photos go?
Your photos stay on your device unless you choose to share them. There's no data collection linked to you — see the privacy policy for details.
