GIF Effects

Apply a photo filter — sharpen, blur, sepia, grayscale, edge detect, or emboss — to an animated GIF or a plain image, entirely in your browser. The preview updates live as you adjust settings, and nothing is ever uploaded.

How to use it

1. Upload a JPG, PNG, WebP, BMP, or animated GIF.
2. Pick an effect — Sharpen, Blur, Sepia, Grayscale, Edge Detect, or Emboss.
3. Adjust the Intensity slider to taste.
4. Download the result as a PNG (or GIF, if you uploaded one).

The effects

• Sharpen — boosts edge contrast so fine detail stands out more.
• Blur — softens the image; higher intensity blurs more.
• Sepia — a warm brown-toned classic-photo look.
• Grayscale — removes color, leaving a black-and-white image.
• Edge Detect — highlights outlines and discards flat color, the way a pencil-sketch filter does.
• Emboss — gives the image a raised, carved-relief look with a fixed top-left light source.

Animated GIFs

Upload an animated GIF and the effect is applied to every frame individually, with the original frame delays and loop setting preserved — the output is a new animated GIF, not a single flattened frame.

Tips

• Intensity 0 always means "no effect" and 100 means the strongest version of that effect — switch effects freely without having to re-find a good value each time.
• A large GIF with many frames can take a moment longer to render — the preview shows a progress bar while it works.
• For a quick black-and-white conversion without the other adjustments, see Grayscale Image; for classic dot-screen printing instead of these filters, see Halftone Effect Generator.

Is my image or GIF uploaded anywhere?

No. Decoding the frames, applying the filter, and re-encoding the result all happen locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
