Frequently Asked Questions
What is a vignette effect?
A vignette effect gradually darkens or lightens the edges of an image while keeping the center unaffected. Positive values create dark edges (traditional vignette), while negative values create bright edges (inverse vignette). This effect helps draw attention to the center of the image and adds mood and drama to photos.
Is my image data safe and secure?
Yes, absolutely! All image processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. The vignette effect is applied locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the difference between positive and negative values?
Positive values (1 to 100) create a traditional dark vignette by gradually darkening the edges, perfect for dramatic portraits and focus effects. Negative values (-1 to -100) create a light vignette by brightening the edges, ideal for dreamy, ethereal effects and adding brightness to darker scenes.
Will the output image quality be reduced?
The output image maintains the same resolution and format as your original image. For JPEG images, we use high quality settings to preserve image detail. PNG images maintain lossless quality. Only HEIC and GIF files are converted to more compatible formats.
Can I adjust the vignette shape or position?
This tool creates a circular/oval vignette centered on the image, which is the most common and natural-looking vignette style. The effect automatically adapts to your image dimensions. For custom shapes or positions, you would need advanced photo editing software.
Why do HEIC files take longer to process?
HEIC files (common on iPhones) need to be converted to JPEG format first since web browsers don't natively support HEIC. This conversion process takes a few extra seconds but ensures compatibility and allows you to work with iPhone photos seamlessly.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes! The vignette tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. The interface automatically adapts to smaller screens, and you can easily upload photos directly from your device's camera or photo library.
