Frequently Asked Questions

What do the filter presets do?

Each preset applies a combination of adjustments: Vivid increases contrast and saturation, B&W converts to grayscale, Sepia adds warm vintage tone, Cool adds blue hues, Warm adds orange tones, Vintage mimics old photos, and Dramatic creates high-contrast moody images.

Can I adjust filters after applying a preset?

Yes! Apply any preset as a starting point, then use the manual controls to fine-tune brightness, contrast, saturation, and other adjustments to your preference.

What does hue rotation do?

Hue rotation shifts all colors around the color wheel by the specified degrees (0-360°). It creates creative color grading effects by changing reds to blues, greens to purples, etc.

Does editing reduce image quality?

No! Our editor uses high-quality filters that preserve image resolution and detail. The output matches your input quality with no compression artifacts.

Can I undo changes?

Click the "Reset" button to return to the original unedited image. You can also switch between presets or adjust manual controls freely.

What is the difference between grayscale and sepia?

Grayscale removes all color for pure black and white. Sepia adds a warm brown/tan tone typical of old photographs for a vintage aesthetic.

How do I save my edited image?

Click the "Download Edited Image" button after making your adjustments. The image downloads as a PNG file with all edits applied.

Are my photos stored on your servers?

No! All editing happens in your browser using CSS filters and HTML5 Canvas. Your images never leave your device.
