What is a vignette effect?

A vignette is a darkening or lightening of the edges of an image, creating a frame that directs attention toward the center. It appears naturally in old cameras due to lens characteristics and is now applied intentionally for artistic effect.

Can I apply a white vignette instead of dark?

This tool applies a dark vignette. White or light vignet effects can be created by combining the tool with a brightness adjustment on the edges.

Will the vignette affect image sharpness?

No. The vignette only changes the tone (brightness) at the edges. Image sharpness and detail are not affected.

Yes, completely free with no account or software installation needed.

Is my image uploaded anywhere?
