How to use this tool

To add a filter to a photo, choose one of eight presets and set the intensity: the filtered copy updates instantly, ready to download. Go from warm vintage and sepia to cool tones and high-contrast noir, and dial the strength down for subtle, natural edits. Apply one look to a whole set of photos for a consistent Instagram feed or carousel, right in your browser.

    The preview updates as you change settings. Click Download for one photo or Download ZIP for a batch; JPG photos are saved as JPG, other formats as PNG.

The eight filters

• Vintage: warm, slightly faded tones with darker corners • Sepia: classic brown-toned old photo • Warm: golden light, like late afternoon • Cool: crisp blue tint for snow, water and tech • Vivid: richer colors and a little more contrast • Fade: soft, matte look with lifted shadows • Noir: high-contrast black and white with a vignette • Dramatic: deep contrast, muted color and a vignette

A consistent feed

Use the same filter and intensity for every photo in a post, carousel or grid. Add all the photos at once so they share identical settings, then save them together with Download ZIP.

Tips

• Set the intensity to 40–70% for natural-looking edits • Noir and Dramatic suit portraits and architecture • Warm and Fade suit food, travel and lifestyle • For clean grayscale, use SocQ’s Black and White Photo Converter; for two-color looks, the Duotone Image Generator

Frequently asked questions

How do I add a filter to a photo?

1. Click Choose files and add your photo. 2. Choose a filter and set Intensity (%). 3. Click Download.

Which filters are available?

Eight: Vintage, Sepia, Warm, Cool, Vivid, Fade, Noir and Dramatic.

Can I make the filter weaker?

Yes. Lower Intensity (%) to blend the filter with the original photo.

Can I apply the same filter to many photos?

Yes. Add up to 20 photos; they all get the same filter and intensity, and Download ZIP saves them together.

Does it keep the photo’s size and quality?

Yes. Width and height stay the same. JPGs are saved at high quality and other formats as PNG.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It runs in mobile browsers and you can choose photos from your gallery.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The filters are applied in your browser, so your photos stay on your device.

Does it keep transparency?

Yes. Transparent areas stay transparent, and the vignette darkens only the visible pixels.

What’s the difference between Sepia and Vintage?

Sepia turns the whole photo brown-toned. Vintage keeps some of the original color, warms it, softens contrast and darkens the corners.

Is the photo filter free?

Yes. No signup, no watermark and no limit.
