Workflow & Usage

  1. Add your images Drag & drop, paste, or click to select JPEG/PNG/WebP files. Previews load instantly and honor EXIF rotation.

  2. Set a global sepia strength Use the main slider to apply a warm tone across all images:

    • 0% → Original colors
    • 100% → Classic sepia
    • 200% → Deep vintage look
  3. Fine-tune each image Click Edit on any card to open the modal, then adjust that image’s sepia intensity independently of the global value.

  4. Choose what to export Toggle Include, remove unwanted items, or reset all settings.

  5. Export your results
