Free Image Filters

New

This free tool applies filters — black and white, sepia, faded, vivid and more — to one photo or a whole folder at once, entirely in your browser.

Drop your photos here

or paste with Ctrl+V. Add as many as you like — they all get the same treatment.

Runs entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to a server.

How it works

  1. Drop your photos onto the box above, paste one with Ctrl+V, or choose them.
  2. Pick a look. The preview updates as you go, so you can see it before committing.
  3. Pull the strength dial back if a filter is too strong — it scales the whole look toward neutral rather than switching to a different one.
  4. Open fine tuning to adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth or vignette by hand.
  5. Name the output and apply it to the batch, then download the lot as a ZIP.

Common use cases

Frequently asked questions

Can I filter more than one photo at once?
Yes. Drop in a whole folder, choose the look once, and every photo gets the same treatment. They come back as a ZIP with names you choose, which is the part that makes a set of forty practical rather than tedious.
What does the strength dial do?
It scales the whole filter back toward the original. A preset at 40% is a gentler version of itself rather than a different look — every adjustment inside it is reduced together, so the balance the preset was built with is kept.
Will a filter ruin the quality of my photo?
The adjustment itself is done on the full-resolution image and costs nothing in detail. What does cost a little is re-saving a JPG, which is lossy every time it is written — so a photo that has already been through several rounds of editing will soften slightly. A PNG comes back with no loss at all.
Does it keep transparency?
Yes. A PNG goes in and comes out a PNG with its transparency intact, and the filters never touch the alpha channel — so a logo with a transparent background stays that way rather than picking up a white box.
Why does black and white look better here than a simple desaturate?
Because the channels are weighted by how bright each colour actually looks rather than averaged. Green carries most of what the eye reads as brightness and blue almost none, so averaging turns a vivid photo into flat mud — a bright green and a deep blue come out the same shade of grey, when one should be far lighter than the other.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Every pixel is processed in your own browser, and the ZIP is assembled there too. The files never leave your device and nothing is stored.
