A Guide to Our Filters
Understanding which filter to use can elevate your storytelling. Here is a breakdown of the effects available:
Grayscale (Black & White)
Removes all color information. Perfect for dramatic portraits, street photography, and focusing the viewer's eye on texture and emotion rather than color.
Sepia
Adds a warm, brownish tone to mimic old photographs from the 19th century. Ideal for giving images a nostalgic, vintage, or "Wild West" feel.
Blur
Softens the image details. Great for creating abstract backgrounds for websites or UI designs where text needs to be readable on top.
Invert
Reverses all colors (like a film negative). Useful for creating spooky effects, analyzing image details, or high-contrast artistic experiments.
Use Cases for Web & Social Media
- Social Media Posts: Stand out on Instagram or Facebook by adjusting contrast and brightness to make your photos "pop" in the feed.
- Website Heroes: Use the "Blur" or "Grayscale" filter to create non-distracting background images for your website's header sections.
- Thumbnails: High-contrast images often get more clicks on YouTube. Use our "Contrast" booster to make your thumbnails more vibrant.
Technology: CSS Filters vs Canvas
Our tool uses a hybrid approach. While many sites just overlay a CSS filter (which only changes how the image looks in the browser), we use the HTML5 Canvas API to actually process the pixels. This means when you click "Download", the filter is baked into the image file itself, ensuring it looks the same on every device.
