Image fade effect generator.

Pick Linear, Top to bottom, with the opacity at 0. The image stays visible at the top and fades out at the bottom, which lets text or the next section sit on it. Set the opacity to 20 or 30 if the bottom should keep a trace of the picture.

Four: Left to right, Right to left, Top to bottom and Bottom to top. The named side is where the image is fully visible; the opposite side is where it reaches the opacity you set.

The tool fades to transparency, which works over any color: put the PNG on a colored background in your page or design tool and the fade blends into it. That is more flexible than baking one background color into the image.

The ramp spans the whole image. For a shorter fade, crop the image so the area to fade is a larger share of it, or fade a wider image and crop afterwards. For a diagonal, rotate the image before and after, or use a CSS mask on the page.

The new opacity multiplies the alpha that is already there. A pixel at 50% alpha, with 50% applied, ends at 25%; a fully transparent pixel stays fully transparent. So a logo on a transparent background keeps its background, and only the logo itself fades.

Solid applies the chosen opacity to every pixel. Linear fades from fully visible on one side to the chosen opacity on the other, in one of four directions. Radial fades in a circle from the center: with Edges fade the middle stays visible and the corners go, a vignette; with Center fades it is the reverse, a spotlight.

Set the opacity to 0 and pick Linear. The image is fully visible at the start side and fully transparent at the far side, with a straight gradient between. For a partial fade, set the opacity to 30 or 50 instead: the far side then stays faintly visible.

The result is drawn on a checkerboard, the usual way to show transparency, so faded areas show the squares through. To judge it over real content, download the PNG and place it on your page or in your design tool.

No. Your browser decodes the file and does the pixel work with its Canvas API, and the page makes no request with it. You can load the page, go offline and keep working; the download is written from memory on your device.

No. The Image fade effect generator is free and opens without a sign-in, an account or an install.

Nothing. The Image fade effect generator 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.

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.
