How to use

100% applies full sepia; lower values mix it with the original image.

Limits and behavior

Matrix output is clipped to the valid RGB range. Alpha is preserved. Still PNG, JPEG and WebP only, up to 20 MB, 4 megapixels and 4,096 pixels per side. Animated PNG/WebP are rejected. Processing and downloads stay on your device. Browser decoding applies EXIF orientation; exports do not preserve EXIF, DPI or original color-profile metadata. PNG preserves transparency; JPEG flattens it onto white. WebP export requires a browser encoder and is checked before download.

Give a photo a vintage sepia look

Blend a classic sepia color matrix into the picture for warmer, antique-looking colors.

Does sepia filtering increase photo sharpness?

No. It transforms colors rather than restoring missing image detail.
