Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Are the filters applied permanently?
The filters are applied to the downloaded file. Your original file remains completely untouched on your computer.
Is my photo uploaded to the cloud?
No. The filter adjustments are calculated mathematically by your browser using JavaScript and the Canvas API.
Can I combine multiple filters?
Yes! You can increase contrast, lower saturation, and add a blur all at the same time. The sliders stack dynamically.
Will applying filters lower the resolution?
No, the exported image will retain the exact pixel dimensions of the original file you uploaded.
What is the sepia filter used for?
The sepia filter adds a warm, brownish tone to an image, simulating the look of antique photographs from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
