Old photo / worn sepia effect for images
Give a recent photo the look of an old print: sepia tone, dark vignetting around the edges, grain and a slight yellowed tint like aged paper. A single slider controls the overall aging intensity.
How it works
The effect combines several layers: a sepia conversion using a color matrix, a progressive darkening toward the corners (vignetting), a yellowed tint strengthened at the extreme edges like aged paper, and random grain. The intensity slider controls the weight of each of these layers at once.
Why are the edges yellower than the center?
Old photo prints usually deteriorate first at the edges, which are exposed to moisture and light. The tool reproduces this by strengthening the yellow-brown tint in proportion to the distance from the center of the image, in addition to the dark vignetting.
Can I keep a light vignette without too much grain?
The single slider controls all the effects together for simplicity. For a softer look, choose a value around 25-35%: the vignetting and grain stay subtle while still giving the photo a light vintage character.
The sepia blend, vignetting and grain are computed pixel by pixel in your browser: your photo is never sent to a server.
