What this browser tool does

A quick image editor with six finished looks, strength, grain, hue and a freely editable four-colour palette.

First five steps

  2. Choose SOFT LIGHT, HALFTONE, PRINT STRIPES, WARM FADE, CYANOTYPE or DISTORTED.
  3. Adjust INTENSITY, GRAIN and HUE.
  4. Turn on COLOR PALETTE when you want to choose four colours from shadow to highlight.
  5. Press SAVE PNG to download the result.

Basic controls

LOOKS

Each button sets a group of colour, texture and distortion choices. DISTORTED combines horizontal tears, colour separation and displaced blocks.

INTENSITY

The main slider changes the total strength. Low values preserve the source; high values push colour and distortion.

GRAIN / HUE

GRAIN adds fine monochrome texture. HUE rotates the overall colour without forcing a fixed palette.

COLOR PALETTE

Turn it on to map the image from SHADOW through DARK and MID to LIGHT. All four colours are editable.

OPEN / SAVE PNG

OPEN replaces the source image. SAVE PNG exports the current result without changing the original file.

Practical setups

Gentle change

Choose SOFT LIGHT, keep INTENSITY below the midpoint and set GRAIN between 10 and 20.

Printed texture

Choose HALFTONE or PRINT STRIPES, set GRAIN between 20 and 35, then raise INTENSITY until the pattern becomes visible.

Controlled colours

Turn on COLOR PALETTE and enter the four colours used by the project from darkest to lightest.

Save and export
