Hero image color effects.

Apply a desaturated or darker tone. It lowers the visual complexity so the headline stands out; teal, slate or a dark version of the brand color work well.

Use a tone complementary to the call-to-action button. Orange buttons on a teal-toned hero draw the eye to the action.

Use the same hex for every hero. Different source photos then share one color feel, and the campaign reads as one.

Warm reads as inviting and action-oriented, cool as professional and calm. Choose the feeling you want visitors to have.

Skin takes the tone. Warm tones stay flattering; cool tones feel editorial. Check that people still look natural enough for the page.

The tool applies one uniform tone. For a gradient, lay a CSS gradient over the toned image; the two together give a layered effect.

The edit is written as a PNG because PNG stores every pixel exactly, with a full alpha channel, so the result can be edited again without a second round of loss.

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.
