Frequently asked questions
How do I add a sepia effect to a photo online?
Drop your image into this tool, set the intensity, and click Apply. The vintage sepia tone is applied in your browser — no upload, free, instant.
Is the sepia filter free to use?
Yes — completely free with no sign-up. Everything happens in your browser and your image is never uploaded to any server.
What intensity should I use for a vintage look?
The default 80% gives a warm, classic sepia tone that looks aged without being too heavy. For a more dramatic old-photo effect, try 90–100%. Lower values blend the sepia with the original colour for a subtle warm tint.
What formats can I use with the sepia filter?
JPG, PNG, and WebP are all supported. The output format matches your input — JPEG for JPG files, PNG for everything else.
What is the difference between sepia and grayscale?
Grayscale removes all colour information, producing a neutral black-and-white image. Sepia adds a warm brown tone on top of the desaturated image, giving it the look of an antique photograph.
Can I combine sepia with other effects?
This tool applies sepia on its own. For combined effects (sepia + vignette, etc.) you would need a full image editor like GIMP or Photoshop.
Will the sepia filter change the file size?
Slightly — sepia images have a narrower colour range which often compresses a little better. The output file size is shown after processing.
