Adjust Image Saturation

This tool allows you to adjust the saturation of any image, giving you control over how vivid or muted the colors appear. Modifying saturation can be useful in a variety of situations, whether you want to enhance the visual impact of your photo or create a softer, more subdued look.

Increasing saturation makes the colors in your image more intense and vibrant, helping them stand out and catch the viewer’s eye. On the other hand, reducing saturation tones down the colors, creating a more monochrome or muted effect that can give your image a subtle, elegant, or artistic feel.

This tool is perfect for photographers, designers, or anyone looking to fine-tune the color intensity of their images quickly and easily, without the need for complex editing software.

Getting a good result

Make colours pop

Landscapes, food and product shots often look best with a gentle boost of +10 to +30.

Mind the skin tones

Too much saturation quickly turns skin orange or red. Keep portraits subtle.

Fade to grey

Pulling the slider down mutes the colours for a soft, vintage look. At -100 the image becomes black and white.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. The adjustment is applied inside your browser, so your image never leaves your device and nothing is stored on our servers.

What is saturation?

Saturation is how intense a colour is. Fully saturated colours look vivid, while desaturated colours look washed out and grey. Changing it does not alter which colours are in the image or how light they are.

What do the saturation values mean?

0 leaves the image unchanged. Positive values make colours more intense, negative values make them more muted, and -100 removes colour completely.

Is this the same as vibrance?

No. Saturation boosts every colour equally, while vibrance mostly lifts the dull colours and goes easy on ones that are already strong. Saturation is more dramatic, so use it in small steps.

Which file types can I use, and what do I get back?

You can add PNG, JPG, GIF and WebP images. The result is always downloaded as a PNG. For animated GIFs, only the first frame is used.

Why was my large image made smaller?

To keep your browser responsive, images longer than 4000 pixels on their longest side are scaled down before editing. The line under the preview shows the original and resized dimensions.

How do I compare the result with the original?

Press and hold the Compare button to show the original image, then let go to see your adjusted version again. On a keyboard, hold the Space or Enter key while the button is focused.
