This free vintage effect makes a modern photo or image look like it was shot on an old camera: antique, nostalgic, 1970s or just pleasantly worn. Pick a look - Classic warm fade, brown Sepia, milky Polaroid, saturated Kodak, washed-out Faded, yellow-green 70s Film, high-contrast Film Noir or the flipped colours of Cross Process - and it is applied at once with film grain and a soft vignette. Each look is a real film recipe rather than a coloured overlay: shadows fade to a tinted black and whites turn to cream paper, greens drift toward olive and blue skies toward teal the way ageing dyes shifted them, and bright areas bleed a soft warm glow like light scattering inside old film. The Strength slider blends the look from a hint of age to the full retro filter.
Classic is the safe old-photo effect: a warm cast, gently lifted shadows and a touch less colour. Sepia is the brown-toned print of a century ago. Polaroid gives the pale, slightly cool instant-film look with soft contrast. Kodak is warm and rich, the colour film of holiday snaps. Faded washes the shadows out to grey for the sun-bleached print look popular on social feeds. 70s Film pushes yellow and green with heavy grain. Film Noir is black and white with hard contrast and the deepest vignette of the set. Cross Process bends the curves the way slide film developed in the wrong chemistry does: cyan shadows, warm highlights, strong colour.
Film grain is sized to the photo rather than to a pixel, strongest in the midtones like real silver grain, and generated from a fixed seed so the downloaded file carries the same pattern as the preview. Vignette takes a little light from the corners the way an old lens did - a finishing touch, never a black frame - and both can be switched off if you only want the colour. Strength blends the whole recipe with the original, which is the control to use when a retro filter at full power is too much for a photo with faces. The details card on the picture lists the look, its strength and the grain level.
The download is rendered from the original file, not the preview: a 24 megapixel photo comes back at 24 megapixels with the curves, grain and vignette computed at that size. Save as PNG for a lossless copy, JPG for the smallest file or WebP for both. A plain sepia or black-and-white conversion without the film character lives on the Grayscale page; a colour-temperature shift alone is on the Color Temperature page.

Classic for a general aged look, Sepia for a print from the early 1900s, Faded for a sun-bleached 1980s print, 70s Film for that decade's colour, and Polaroid for instant-film snapshots.
Yes. The Strength slider blends the look with the original from 0 to 100%, and grain and vignette follow it, so a subtle vintage tint is one drag away.
Yes. The grain is generated from a fixed seed, so the saved image carries the same pattern you previewed, scaled to the photo's full size so it stays visible in a large file.
No. Everything is computed in your browser; the file never leaves your device.
