AVIF texture effect.

Color variation at 8 to 15 percent. It moves each pixel a little from its own color, like the fibres of a sheet, without sprinkling foreign colors into the image.

Mono grain at 15 to 25 percent. Canvas has a coarser surface than paper, and the stronger grey grain reads as a weave while the colors stay yours.

Palette noise. It samples colors from the image itself, so the roughness looks like part of the surface rather than something laid over it.

5 to 10 percent of color variation: a good print has a faint texture that you sense more than see. Higher values suggest a cheaper print.

Texture under 10 percent can be smoothed away by a low-quality AVIF encode. Use a little more intensity, or a higher quality, when the result is re-encoded.

Intensity is the share of opaque pixels that get a new value, from 0 to 100 percent. At 5 to 15 percent the grain reads as texture; at 40 percent and up it reads as static. Fully transparent pixels are never touched, so a cut-out keeps its edges.

Random pixels writes any color. Mono grain writes a grey. Color variation nudges each channel by up to 28 steps, so the image keeps its colors. Palette noise reuses colors sampled from the image. Custom colors draws from the list you type, as hex or names.

The grain is drawn from a seed, so the same settings give the same picture until you press New noise, which draws a fresh pattern. Export several and you have frames for an animation.

PNG and WebP are written by every browser. AVIF is written only where the browser's canvas encodes it, which is Chrome and Edge today; elsewhere the AVIF choice falls back to PNG and the status line says so.

No. The file is decoded by your browser and every pixel is handled by JavaScript on your device. The page makes no request with your image, and you can load it, go offline and keep working.

No. The "AVIF texture effect" tool is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

Nothing. The "AVIF texture effect" tool holds your input in the page's memory, so closing or reloading the tab clears it, and it saves nothing in this browser.

Up to 100 MB per file, the limit the tool states under its drop area. A larger file is refused with a plain message instead of being decoded.

No, it takes one file at a time. If you drop or choose several, only the first is used; run the tool again for the next one.

You choose PNG, WebP or AVIF, and PNG is the default so the grain isn't compressed away. AVIF is written only in a browser that can encode it; otherwise the tool writes a PNG and says so.

No. The browser decodes the image and the tool writes a new file from its pixels, so camera EXIF, GPS position and text chunks in the original are not copied into the result. Keep the original file if you need them.

No. The result has the same width and height in pixels as the source.

The "AVIF texture effect" tool is one of 37 in its group. The group's page, /tools/avif, lists them all.

The tool is free. Its interface is built from shadcn.io's own components (Button, Input, Slider and the rest of the registry under /ui), which come in React, Vue, Svelte and Solid. Pro adds the blocks and templates for the product around it.
