How the vintage photo filter works

Upload the photo. Name the era or look you are after, such as 'faded 1970s colour film, warm and soft' or 'cross-processed slide with heavy grain'. Say whether you want a vignette, edge wear or a print border. Run the tool and compare with the original. If the effect is too heavy or the faces went muddy, ask for a lighter treatment and run again on the same upload.

Tips for the best results

Name a decade or a film characteristic rather than just saying 'vintage', since eras have distinct palettes. Grain and lifted blacks do most of the work. Ask to keep faces readable when the treatment is heavy. Add a border or date stamp only if you actually want one.
