Getting a good result

Instant vintage

Sepia gives modern photos the warmth of an old print, which is great for family history, weddings and travel memories.

Go gentle

A partial setting keeps a hint of the original colours for a subtle, faded-print look, while 100 gives the classic brown monochrome.

Add some grain

For an even more authentic old-photo feel, download the result and add a little noise with our noise tool.

Frequently asked questions

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

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

What is sepia?

Sepia is a warm reddish-brown tone. It comes from early photography, where prints were treated with a sepia-toned finish, and it is now a popular way to give images an aged look.

What is the difference between sepia and grayscale?

Grayscale removes all colour and leaves only greys. Sepia also removes most colour but tints the image with a warm brown, so it looks older and softer.

What do the slider values mean?

0 leaves the image unchanged and 100 applies the full sepia effect. Values in between blend the original colours with the sepia tone.

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 sepia version again. On a keyboard, hold the Space or Enter key while the button is focused.
