A vignette gently darkens the edges and corners of a photo, drawing the eye to the center and adding depth and mood. It's a subtle, professional finishing touch for portraits, products and vintage looks — and the intensity slider lets you go from barely-there to dramatic.

How to apply the vignette effect

  1. Open your photo — drag it onto the tool above, choose a file, or paste from your clipboard.
  2. The vignette effect is already selected. Switch to any other effect from the grid if you'd like to compare.
  3. Drag the intensity slider to dial the look in, watching the live preview update as you go.
  4. Choose a format and click Download to save the result to your device.

Tips & ideas

Keep the vignette subtle for natural portraits, or combine it with the sepia or vintage effect for an aged-photo feel where the corners fade away.
