A preset is a ready-made combination of settings that applies a complete look in one click, like the Instagram-style Clarendon and Valencia options or artistic films such as Noir, Polaroid and Sepia Classic. It changes brightness, contrast, saturation, temperature and more all at once, so you get a finished style instantly. Manual adjustment means moving the individual sliders yourself for precise control over each property. The two work together: you can start from a preset to get close, then fine-tune any of the 14 manual controls to taste, because a strong preset that reads well as a thumbnail can look heavy-handed at full size. There are over 40 named presets to choose from. Drop an image in above, pick a preset, then nudge the sliders until the effect suits your photo.

After you adjust the sliders or pick a preset, use the Copy CSS option to grab the equivalent CSS filter string, for example filter: brightness(110%) contrast(130%) saturate(125%);. You can paste that line straight into your own stylesheet to style an image on your website with the exact same effect, with no edited file to host and zero added page weight, since the browser renders the look on the fly. This is ideal for developers and designers who want to match a mockup or apply a consistent treatment across a gallery in code rather than baking the effect into each file. Note that CSS filters cover the standard properties like brightness, contrast, saturation, hue-rotate, blur, grayscale and sepia. Adjust the look you want above, then copy the CSS to reuse it anywhere in your markup.

Temperature and Tint adjust color along two separate axes, the same way professional photo editors split white balance. Temperature controls warmth on the blue-to-orange axis: positive values add golden, sunset tones that make a shot feel warmer, while negative values cool it toward blue for a clean or wintry feel. Tint works on the perpendicular green-to-magenta axis, which is what you reach for to neutralize a color cast, such as the greenish look from fluorescent lighting. Both run from -100 to +100 with a neutral 0 default. Using them together gives you fine control over the overall color mood, so you can warm up a portrait while pulling out an unwanted green tinge at the same time. Upload a photo above and slide Temperature and Tint to dial in the exact white balance you want.

The tool lets you export your edited image as PNG, JPEG or WebP, and the right choice depends on the image. PNG is lossless and keeps every pixel exactly, which suits graphics, screenshots and anything needing transparency, but the files are larger. JPEG produces much smaller files and is the practical pick for photographs and social posts where a tiny quality trade-off is invisible. WebP is a modern format that usually beats JPEG on file size at similar quality and is well supported on the web today. For JPEG and WebP you can set a quality level, trading file size against fidelity, so lower quality means a smaller file. Pick the format that matches where the image will be used, set the quality if prompted, and download the result directly from your browser above.

A before/after comparison slider sits over the live preview, and dragging it left or right reveals the original photo underneath your edit. This matters because it is easy to keep pushing sliders until an image simply looks different rather than genuinely better. Wiping between the two versions lets you judge whether a change is actually an improvement, so you can confirm that more contrast adds punch instead of crushing detail, or that a warm preset flatters the scene rather than overpowering it. It is especially useful for subtle work, where small shifts in exposure or saturation are hard to see in isolation. Pair it with the Reset control to return every slider to neutral if you want to start over. Edit your image above, then drag the comparison slider to check each adjustment against the untouched original before you export.
