System and method of generating image capture modifiers based on electronic media content items

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon, instructions when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a user request to access a first media content item included in a storage from a first client device, the first media content item being an image or video previously captured using an image capture device of the first client device and stored in the storage in association with the first client device;
• causing the first media content item to be displayed on a user interface of the first client device and a modifier generator icon to be displayed on the user interface of the first client device;
• receiving a user selection of the modifier generator icon on the user interface of the first client device;
• generating a first image capture modifier based on the first media content item, the first image capture modifier being at least one of an image filter, a digital lens, or a set of add on graphical elements;
• causing to be displayed on the user interface of the first client device a real-time field of view of the image capture device of the first client device and a plurality of image modifier icons including a first image modifier icon associated with the first image capture modifier;
• and
• in response to receiving the user selection of the first image modifier icon, applying the first image capture modifier to at least a portion of the image or video stream displayed in the field of view of the image capture device on the user interface to generate a second media content item,
• wherein applying the first image capture modifier comprises:
• modifying the first media content item by reducing the first media content item in size to generate a modified first media content item, and
• adding the modified first media content item to at least the portion of the image or video stream displayed in the field of view of the image capture device on the user interface.

A system comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory, having instructions stored thereon, when executed by the processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• receiving a user selection of the modifier generator icon on the user interface of the first client device;
• generating a first image capture modifier based on the first media content item, the first image capture modifier being at least one of an image filter, a digital lens, or a set of add on graphical elements;
• causing to be displayed on the user interface of the first client device a field of view of the image capture device of the first client device and a plurality of image modifier icons including a first image modifier icon associated with the first image capture modifier;
• and
• in response to receiving the user selection of the first image modifier icon, applying the first image capture modifier to at least a portion of the image or video stream displayed in the field of view of the image capture device on the user interface to generate a second media content item,
• wherein applying the first image capture modifier comprises:
• modifying the first media content item by reducing the first media content item in size to generate a modified first media content item, and
