Apply a sepia effect to an image

How it works

Want to give a recent photo the look of an old silver print, or unify a series of images with a warm, nostalgic feel? Upload one or more images and run the filter: each pixel is retinted using a standard sepia color matrix, replacing the original hues with the brownish-orange tones characteristic of old photographs.

Does sepia work on photos that are already black and white?

Yes, the tool applies the sepia matrix to each pixel's color values, whether they were originally in color or already in grayscale. A black-and-white photo will thus take on a uniform brown tint, like an old photo print.

Can I combine sepia with other effects?

Yes: nothing stops you from first applying a crop or a grayscale conversion with another of our tools, then using this sepia tool on the downloaded result, to build the exact effect you're after.

100% local processing: the filter is applied in your browser via our WebAssembly module — your images are never sent to a server.
