How to apply a filter to a photo online
-
Load the photo
Click "Choose image", drag the file onto the page or paste it from the clipboard with Ctrl+V. Just want to browse the effects? "Try a sample photo" is there for exactly that.
-
Browse the 12 presets
In the "Choose a filter" panel, tap a thumbnail: the effect is applied instantly in the preview. Jump from Vintage to Cinematic to Pop as many times as you like, with no penalty.
-
Step back if you need to
The Original preset removes any effect and shows the photo as it was; "Undo" returns the whole editor to its starting state.

Download the result
"Download" gives you the filtered file straight away — free, with nothing stamped over it, ready to share.
The full palette: 12 styles in one click
Each preset is a pre-balanced recipe of light, color and tone. Here's what each one does and where it works best:
| Filter | Character | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Original | No effect | Quick comparison |
| B&W | Clean greyscale | Portraits, architecture |
| Sepia | Warm brown tone | Vintage photos, weddings |
| Vintage | '70s colors, darkened edges | Nostalgia, retro feeds |
| Dramatic | Strong contrast, dense shadows | Skies and landscapes |
| Cool | Blue cast | Winter, minimalism |
| Warm | Amber cast | Sunsets, food |
| Faded | Milky blacks, matte look | Editorial style |
| Cinematic | Movie-style tones | Urban scenes, travel |
| Pop | Bold, punchy colors | Street, products |
| Noir | High-contrast B&W | Film-noir moods |
| Sketch | Pencil strokes | Avatars, illustrations |
The right filter for every situation
A few proven pairings. For portraits, Warm flatters skin tones while Faded lends a sophisticated magazine feel; if the face has character, Noir turns it into a frame from a crime film. For landscapes, Dramatic makes clouds and mountains pop, while Cinematic gives travel photos that film patina that never fails. Food calls for warm tones: Warm or Pop, never Cool, which kills the appetite.
Architecture lives on geometry: B&W lays it bare, and for finer control over the conversion there's the dedicated black and white photo page, with separate intensity and contrast sliders. One last tip, perhaps the most important: for a cohesive profile, pick one or two filters and use them across the whole series. Visual consistency matters more than the choice of any single effect.
When a preset isn't enough: filters plus adjustments
Presets are starting points, not cages. In the full editor on the homepage you can apply one of these 12 filters and then keep working with the sliders: a Vintage with the vignette softened, a Pop dialed back to more human saturation, a Cinematic brightened up for light-filled feeds. Filter first, tweaks after: that's how you build a personal look from a ready-made base.
Not sure which style to start from? The guide to the best photo filters gives you concrete examples and selection criteria for every kind of shot, from portraits to landscapes, so you arrive at the editor with your mind already made up.
One click, zero waiting
Each filter is really a combination of adjustments — contrast curves, color shifts, desaturation, vignettes — pre-calibrated and applied in one pass by the Canvas API. That's why switching presets is instant: there's no remote rendering to wait for, the thumbnails and the final effect are generated locally, and not a single byte of your photo travels to a server.
No account to create, no free trials with an expiry date, and no watermark hiding in the download: what you see in the preview is exactly the file you get, up to 4096 pixels on the long side. Changing your mind costs nothing — the Original preset is always one click away — so the best way to choose is simply to try all twelve on your own photo.
