Available Image Effects

Our tool offers 10 different image effects, each designed to create unique visual transformations:

1. Blur Effect

Create smooth, soft-focus effects by blurring your image. Perfect for creating depth of field, softening backgrounds, or adding a dreamy quality to your photos. Adjust the intensity from subtle to dramatic blurring.

2. Sharpen Effect

Enhance image details and make your photos appear crisper and more defined. Ideal for correcting slightly soft images or emphasizing fine details in your photographs.

3. Emboss Effect

Create a raised, three-dimensional appearance that makes your image look like it's carved in stone or metal. Great for creating artistic, sculptural effects.

4. Edge Detection

Highlight the edges and contours in your image, creating a sketch-like or technical drawing appearance. Perfect for creating artistic outlines or technical illustrations.

5. Invert Colors

Create a negative effect by inverting all colors in your image. This creates a striking, high-contrast look that can be used for artistic purposes or special effects.

6. Grayscale

Convert your color image to black and white using professional luminance calculations. Creates classic, timeless monochrome photographs.

7. Sepia Effect

Add warm, vintage tones to your images, reminiscent of old photographs. Perfect for creating nostalgic, historical, or artistic effects.

8. Vintage Effect

Apply a combination of color adjustments to create an aged, retro look. Adds warmth and character to modern photos, making them appear decades old.

9. Posterize Effect

Reduce the number of colors in your image to create a poster-like, graphic appearance. Great for creating bold, artistic effects with limited color palettes.

10. Solarize Effect

Create a unique, surreal effect by inverting colors above a certain threshold. This creates dramatic, artistic effects with unusual color combinations.

Can I apply multiple effects to the same image?

While you can only apply one effect at a time, you can process the same image multiple times by applying one effect, downloading the result, and then uploading it again to apply a different effect. This allows you to create complex, layered effects.

How does the tool process images without uploading to a server?

The Add Image Effect tool uses HTML5 Canvas and JavaScript to process images entirely in your browser. This means your images never leave your device, ensuring complete privacy and security. All processing happens locally on your computer.

What's the difference between Grayscale and Sepia effects?

Grayscale converts your image to pure black and white using luminance calculations, while Sepia adds warm, brownish tones to create a vintage photograph look. Grayscale is more neutral, while Sepia adds warmth and character to your images.
