Image Filters

The intensity slider blends the filtered image with the original. At 100% you see the full filter effect; at 50% it’s an even mix of filtered and original; at 0% the filter has no effect at all. This lets you apply a subtle hint of a filter rather than the full look — useful for a light vintage wash or a gentle warm tone without going overboard.

They’re inspired by popular social media filter styles but implemented independently using Canvas pixel manipulation. Instagram’s filters use proprietary processing that we can’t replicate exactly, but our Faded, Vintage, Cross-Process, and Soft Glow filters achieve very similar looks and are applied entirely in your browser with no upload needed.

No — the filter is applied to the full-resolution image and the download preserves the original dimensions. PNG originals download as PNG; JPG and WebP originals download as high-quality JPEG at 93% quality. The only quality change is the intentional one from the filter itself (for example, Faded slightly reduces contrast by design).

Cross-processing is a darkroom technique where film is developed in the wrong type of chemical process — for example, slide film developed in negative film chemicals. The result is unpredictable, high-contrast colours with shifted hues, often a green-cyan in shadows and warm yellows in highlights. Our Cross-Process filter simulates this look digitally using per-channel curve adjustments.

Each filter is applied to the original source image, not the previously filtered version, so switching filters always gives you a clean result. To stack filters, download the result of the first filter and re-upload it as a new image. For combining with other effects, try downloading and then using our Add Border or Add Text tools.
