What you can do
Control exactly where the viewer looks
Use the vignette controls to draw attention towards the main subject or create a much stronger creative effect.
Black vignette
Darken the outside of the photograph for a traditional cinematic or portrait vignette.
White vignette
Fade the edges towards white for soft portraits, wedding photos and high-key images.
Colour vignette
Choose your own edge colour for creative posters, social images and stylised photography.
Gradient edges
Blend different tones around the outside of the picture for a more decorative result.
Click-to-focus
Click anywhere on the photo to instantly move the centre of the vignette to that position.
Adjust strength
Create a barely visible edge fade or increase the effect for a much more dramatic look.
Change the size
Control how much of the photograph remains clear before the vignette begins.
Control softness
Use a soft transition for natural-looking portraits or a harder edge for graphic effects.
Extreme presets
Quickly create Soft Portrait, Cinematic or more dramatic tunnel-style effects.
Pro tip:
For portraits, keep the vignette fairly subtle and click directly on the subject’s face to set the focus point. Stronger settings work better for dramatic, horror, cinematic or tunnel-vision effects.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is a vignette effect?
A vignette gradually darkens, lightens or colours the outer edges of a photograph while keeping more attention on the centre or selected focus point.
Is the Vignette Studio free?
Yes. You can upload a photograph, customise the vignette and download the finished image directly from the tool.
Do I need to create an account?
No. The vignette editor can be used directly in your browser without creating an account.
How do I move the centre of the vignette?
Click directly on the photograph where you want the centre of attention to appear. The vignette focus point moves to that position.
Can I use a white vignette?
Yes. White vignettes can create a softer, brighter effect and work especially well with portraits, wedding photographs and high-key images.
Can I choose my own vignette colour?
Yes. Select the Colour style and choose an edge colour to create a more creative or stylised result.
What does softness do?
Softness controls how gradually the vignette blends into the photograph. Higher softness creates a smoother transition, while lower softness produces a more obvious edge.
What does vignette size do?
Size controls the clear central area of the image. A smaller setting brings the vignette further towards the centre, while a larger setting leaves more of the picture unaffected.
What are the Extreme Presets?
Extreme presets quickly apply stronger combinations of vignette settings for effects such as soft portrait fades, cinematic framing or dramatic tunnel vision.
Can I create a subtle vignette?
Yes. Reduce the vignette strength and increase softness for a gentle edge fade that draws attention towards the subject without looking obvious.
What image formats can I upload?
The tool supports common browser-compatible image formats including JPG, PNG and WebP.
Does the tool change my original photograph?
No. Your original image remains unchanged on your device. The tool creates a separate edited version for you to download.
Are my photos permanently stored?
The vignette editor processes the photograph in your browser and does not need to permanently store the original image to create the finished result.
