About This Tool
Sepia Image adds warm brown tones inspired by vintage photographs. Increase the strength gradually from the original image to a full sepia effect.
How to Use
- Choose or drop an image and check its orientation, file size, and pixel dimensions.
- Set the sepia strength, choose the output format, and adjust quality or the background color where available.
- Click “Apply changes” to compare the original and result, including actual pixel dimensions and file size.
- Download when you are satisfied. “Reset settings” restores the default effect; “Clear” removes the files and results.
Settings explained
- Filter strength ranges from 0% to 100%, with a default of 0%. At 100%, the full sepia effect is applied.
Supported Formats
- Input: JPG/JPEG, PNG, or static WebP. GIF, animated PNG, and animated WebP are not supported.
- Output: JPG, PNG, or WebP if supported by your browser. Most edits keep the input format by default; opacity and rounded-corner tools default to PNG.
Image Processing Notes
Changes apply to the full original image and keep its loaded pixel width and height by default. The preview may appear smaller; the downloaded file contains the full processed image.
- Intermediate values blend original colors with sepia. Adjust the strength to suit skin tones or your preferred style.
- The filter changes color only. It adds no grain, scratches, or paper texture, and keeps the original transparency.
- Downloads contain the full processed image. Saving again can change file size and compression details, and usually removes original EXIF, GPS, and similar information. Keep your original file.
Each image can be up to 100 MiB. Files over 50 MiB trigger a high-memory-use notice. Original and output images are limited to 16 megapixels, with each dimension no greater than 16,384 pixels. Some operations have lower limits; resize the image first if prompted.
Privacy
Images are processed entirely in your browser and are never uploaded to a server.
Files are not saved automatically. Download any results you want to keep before clearing or leaving the page, and keep your original file.
FAQ
Does sepia turn every color the same brown?
No. Light and dark variations remain. The original brightness and colors both affect the result.
How can I get a subtle vintage effect?
Start with a low strength, such as 20% or 30%. Compare skin tones, whites, and shadows before increasing it.
Can this filter restore detail in old photos?
No. It changes color tones only and cannot restore blurred or missing content.
Will the download keep the original dimensions?
The tool preserves the loaded image’s pixel dimensions. A smaller preview does not make the download smaller. Output format and quality can still affect file size and detail.
