Common questions
How do I give a photo a faded film look?
Add your photo and move the Fade slider until the blacks look soft and matte. Leave Warm film tone ticked for a vintage feel.
What does fading a photo actually do?
It lifts the darkest parts towards grey, softens the contrast and reduces the colour a little, which is what makes old film prints look faded.
Can I fade several photos the same way?
Yes. The same settings apply to every photo you add, up to 5 at a time on the free plan or 50 with credits or Pro.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The fade happens on your own device in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
Is the fade tool free?
Yes. Saving one photo is free and doesn't use any of your downloads. Several at once use one download each, and the free plan gives you 5 a day at full quality with no watermark.
