Filter Descriptions
Grayscale
Classic black and white effect. Perfect for professional portraits, artistic photography, and creating timeless images. Removes all color while preserving tonal range and contrast.
Sepia
Vintage brown tone effect reminiscent of old photographs. Adds warmth and nostalgia. Ideal for historical images, retro designs, and giving photos an aged appearance.
Invert
Reverses all colors to their opposites. Creates dramatic, surreal effects. Useful for artistic projects, negative effects, and creative designs.
Blur
Softens the image by averaging pixel values. Great for creating dreamy effects, reducing harsh details, or preparing backgrounds for text overlays.
Sharpen
Enhances edges and fine details. Makes images appear crisper and more defined. Perfect for slightly out-of-focus photos or when you need extra clarity.
Brightness Boost
Increases overall image brightness. Ideal for underexposed photos, dark images, or creating a light and airy aesthetic.
High Contrast
Intensifies the difference between light and dark areas. Creates bold, punchy images with strong visual impact. Great for logos and graphic elements.
Vintage
Combines sepia tones with adjusted contrast and brightness for an authentic retro look. Popular for Instagram-style photos and nostalgic content.
Cool Tone
Shifts colors toward blues and teals. Creates a modern, crisp aesthetic. Perfect for tech imagery, winter scenes, and contemporary designs.
Warm Tone
Adds golden and orange hues. Creates cozy, inviting images. Ideal for food photography, sunset scenes, and autumn themes.
