# Photo filters & film-look effects — one tap, no upload

> Apply cinematic filters, black & white, duotone, film grain, and vignette to photos in your browser. Live preview, one-tap looks, full-resolution export, no upload.

Give a photo a look with cinematic filters, black & white, duotone, film grain, and vignette — all with live preview and full-resolution export. The effects render on-device, so your image is never uploaded.

A filter is the fastest way to give a set of photos a consistent mood — a warm film look for travel shots, high-contrast black and white for portraits, a duotone for a cover. Doing it in the browser means you can style a whole batch quickly without uploading anything.

The extras are what make a preset feel finished: a touch of grain to break up digital smoothness and a subtle vignette to pull the eye inward. Because everything renders locally, the export is full resolution rather than a downsized preview.

For manual control over exposure and color use the Photo Editor, for a hands-off fix use Auto Enhance, and to prep the result for the web use Compress image.

## How to

1. **Add a photo.** Drop the image you want to style.
2. **Pick a look.** Tap through filter presets and film emulations.
3. **Fine-tune.** Add grain, a vignette, or dial the intensity up or down.
4. **Export.** Save the styled image at full resolution.

## FAQ

### Do the filters reduce resolution?

No. Presets are applied to the full-size image and export at original resolution — the preview is just scaled for speed while you choose.

### Can I stack effects?

Yes. Combine a base filter with grain and a vignette, and adjust each one's strength to build your own look.

### Is there a watermark?

No watermark and no sign-up. What you export is exactly the styled image.

### Are my photos uploaded to apply filters?

No. Filtering happens on a canvas in this browser tab, so the photo stays on your device the whole time.
