Sepia vs. Vintage
Both use a warm tone, but they're not the same effect: Sepia converts the whole image to a warm brown monochrome, like a 19th-century photograph. Vintage keeps more color, lightly tinted, with reduced contrast and saturation for a faded, modern-retro look rather than full monochrome.

Frequently asked questions
What filters are available?
Twelve presets — Grayscale, Sepia, Warm, Cool, High Contrast, Vintage, Bright, Dramatic, Fade, Invert, and Blur — applied non-destructively until you download.
Does applying a filter reduce quality?
The effect is rendered at full resolution; only the colours change, so detail is preserved.
Can I undo a filter?
Yes — filters preview live, so you can switch between them freely before downloading the version you like.
Is it private?
Yes — filtering is done locally in your browser.
What’s the difference between Sepia and Vintage?
Sepia applies a warm brown monochrome tone like an old photograph. Vintage combines a lighter sepia tint with reduced contrast and saturation for a faded, retro look rather than full monochrome.
Does Grayscale permanently remove colour?
Only from the exported copy you download — the original file you uploaded is never modified, so you can always start over with full colour.
Can I control how strong a filter looks?
Yes — an intensity slider (0–200%) scales each filter’s effect, so you’re not limited to one fixed look per preset.
Does a filter change the image dimensions or format?
No — only pixel colours change. Dimensions stay the same, and you choose the output format when you download.
