Six specific ways a filter earns its keep
- 01 for scrapbookers
One filter, a whole spread that matches
Shooting 20 photos for a birthday spread? Run them all through Scrapbook Warm or Vintage Polaroid and they'll feel like they were developed together — not like a scattered camera roll.
- 02 for Instagram
Pick a look, keep a feed
Grids look better when posts share a palette. Pick one preset here, apply it to every upload, and your profile gets that hand-curated magazine feel without VSCO's $20/year.
- 03 for weddings
Uniform the album before printing
Handed 400 wedding photos from three cameras and two iPhones? Push the whole set through Sunday Morning or Magazine Print so the printed album feels like one story, not a stitch-up.
- 04 for zines
Xerox-aesthetic without a photocopier
Zine-makers: the Zine Xerox preset gets you that bit-crushed, high-contrast, black-and-white punk look. Handmade Grain adds the noise. Print straight to a laser printer and you're done.
- 05 for thumbnails
Cinematic color for YouTube / TikTok covers
Moody cinematic grading makes thumbnails feel like a film still. Cinematic Moody dumps cool blue into the shadows and crunches the blacks — click-worthy in three seconds.
- 06 for Pinterest
Aesthetic boards that cohere
Pinterest boards need visual consistency to look curated. Run your uploads through one preset before pinning — suddenly your board looks like a mood, not a dump.
Frequently asked
Are the filters applied on my device? +
Yes. The filters run through the browser's built-in canvas engine. Your photo never uploads anywhere and we don't run a server for image processing.
Can I stack a preset with manual adjustments? +
Yes — presets and the brightness/contrast/saturation dials stack. Pick a look, then fine-tune it. Hold the compare button to see the untouched photo. If you want hue, sepia, greyscale or blur as well, the Adjust tool has all seven dials and no presets.
What format does it export? +
JPG at 92% quality — the best balance for photos going onto social, print, or a scrapbook.
Does the grain in the preview match the file I download? +
Yes, exactly. Handmade Grain, Zine Xerox and Film Wash lay down a single noise field, and the export reuses that same field scaled to your photo's full size. Earlier versions rolled fresh one-pixel noise for each render, which came out visibly finer in a large export than in the preview.
Can I process a whole batch? +
Single-photo for now. If you need batch, head for a proper app — these beta tools are for quick one-offs.
