Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, grayscale, sepia, hue and inversion with sliders, or pick a quick look such as black and white, vintage, vivid, cool, faded or negative. The preview updates instantly, and you download the result when you're happy. The original file is never changed.
How to use it
- Choose or drop an image.
- Pick a quick look, or move the sliders yourself.
- Compare the preview with what you had in mind.
- Choose a format and download.
When it helps
- Rescuing a dull or dark photo.
- Creating a black-and-white or vintage look.
- Softening a background image behind text.
- Giving a set of pictures a consistent style.
Good to know
- Small adjustments usually look better than extreme ones.
- Raise contrast and saturation together carefully, as it can look harsh.
- Keep your original so you can start again with a different approach.
What each adjustment does
Brightness scales how light every pixel is. Contrast pushes lights lighter and darks darker around the middle grey. Saturation controls colour intensity, from 0 percent (grey) through 100 (original) to 300 (very vivid). Grayscale and sepia blend the picture towards black and white or a warm brown tone.
Hue shift rotates every colour around the colour wheel, so 180 degrees turns blues into oranges. Invert flips every colour to its opposite, producing a photographic negative. Blur softens detail by a number of pixels, which is useful for backgrounds.
Worked example: a vintage look
For a warm, old-photo feel, start from the Vintage look, which adds a moderate sepia, lowers saturation a little and raises brightness slightly. Then nudge contrast down a few points for a faded feel. Because the sliders are live, you can see each tweak straight away.
For a clean black-and-white print, pick Black and white, then raise contrast by 10 to 20 percent. Good black and white relies on contrast between tones, not colour, so a touch more contrast usually improves it.
Browser support and file size
The tool uses your browser's built-in filtering where available and falls back to a pixel-by-pixel method if it isn't, so it works in older browsers too. Very large pictures can take a moment to process, and the preview is scaled to fit your screen while the download keeps the full size.
Filters can change file size. Blur makes images compress better, while heavy contrast and noise can enlarge a JPEG. If size matters, use WebP or JPEG and check the result.
Filters and accessibility
Heavy filters can reduce contrast and make text in images hard to read. If your image contains writing, check it at a small size after editing. Very low contrast pictures are also difficult for people with low vision.
Always keep alt text for images on web pages, regardless of how you've edited them.
