Vintage Filter

Apply a one-click vintage look — faded colours, warm tint, and subtle film grain — to any photo. Multiple decade presets from late-60s sunbleached, 70s warm, 80s magenta-shift, to 90s consumer-film cast. Instant nostalgia without manually wrangling colour curves.

What vintage filters do

Real vintage photos look "vintage" because of a handful of specific shifts: lower contrast, faded blacks, warmer highlights, slight magenta or yellow cast (depending on era), and visible film grain. Modern digital photos have none of these — they're high-contrast, neutral, and noise-free. The vintage filter adds the missing shifts to fake the look.

Decade presets

• Late-60s: sunbleached, low contrast, warm yellows.
• 70s warm: Kodachrome-style saturated reds and golds.
• 80s magenta: Polaroid-era pink/magenta cast.
• 90s consumer: faded blues, slight cyan shift in shadows.
• Y2K teal/orange: the early-2000s cinematic colour grade.

Components included

1. Tone curve adjustment (faded blacks, lifted shadows).
2. Colour cast (warm or cool depending on preset).
3. Subtle film grain (toggleable).
4. Optional vignette via our Vignette tool for full vintage feel.

Layering with other effects

For full vintage authenticity, follow up with a light leak (analog camera light bleed) and a Polaroid frame. Each tool is one knob; layered, they produce album-art-quality results.
