Features

  • 14 filters

    Black & white, grayscale, sepia, vintage, Polaroid, Kodachrome, Technicolor, Brownie, invert, sharpen, emboss, noise, remove color and blend, with strength from 0 to 100%.

  • Light and color adjustments

    Brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma, together with a filter or on their own.

  • White to transparent

    Remove Color picks a color from the image and makes similar colors transparent, saved as PNG.

  • What you see is what you get

    The preview and the download are made by the same processing, so the result matches what you saw.

Stored temporarily, deleted after 2 hours

Your image is used only for this edit. Originals and results are deleted automatically after 2 hours and download links work only for you. Date taken, camera model and GPS location are removed by default.

FAQ

Can I stack several filters?
One filter at a time, plus brightness, contrast, saturation and gamma. To add another filter, choose Continue with another tool after applying, then pick Photo Filters again.
Do filters reduce image quality?
The size stays the same. JPG output is re-encoded at high quality, so the difference is barely visible; choose PNG in the output settings if you need lossless.
How do I make a white background transparent?
Choose Remove Color, click Pick from image and then the background, and raise the tolerance until the whole background is gone. The result is saved as PNG.
Can I undo a filter?
Click Restore original in the tool to go back. Your original image is never changed; a new image is only created when you click Apply.
Do animated GIFs work?
Yes, but only the first frame is processed and the result is a still image.
