FAQ

Common questions about sepia filters.

How do I add a sepia filter to a photo?
Drop the image (JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC) onto the tool. It opens with a full sepia tone already applied: warm brown tint, gentle contrast, and a soft vignette. Use the Sepia slider to make it stronger or weaker, then hit Download. No upload, no signup.
What is a sepia tone?
Sepia is the warm reddish-brown tint of old photographs. The color is replaced with shades of brown instead of gray, giving an aged, nostalgic look. It comes from early photo printing, where a sepia pigment made prints last longer.
Is the sepia filter tool really free?
Yes. No accounts, no daily caps, no per-file size limit, no watermark. Everything runs in your browser. We never see your photo.
Does my photo upload anywhere?
No. The image is filtered and re-encoded entirely on your device using canvas. Nothing uploads, nothing is logged. Close the tab and the file is gone.
Can I control how strong the sepia is?
Yes. After the tone is applied you get the full slider set: the Sepia slider sets the strength, and brightness, contrast, warmth, and vignette shape the rest. Push sepia and vignette for a heavy antique look, or pull them back for a light warm wash.
What is the difference between sepia and black and white?
Both remove the original color. Black and white uses neutral gray tones, while sepia uses warm brown tones for a more nostalgic, aged feel. If you want the classic gray look instead, use the black and white tool.
Will the output keep full resolution?
Yes. The on-screen preview is scaled to fit your screen, but the downloaded file is filtered at the original image resolution. A 24-megapixel photo downloads at 24 megapixels with the sepia tone baked in.
Which output formats can I save to?
JPEG (smallest, most compatible), PNG (lossless), or WebP (modern compact). JPEG and WebP are encoded at 92% quality, which is visually identical to the preview on screen.
Can I add sepia to iPhone HEIC photos?
Yes. iPhone HEIC images are decoded in the browser first, then filtered like any other image. Output is JPEG, PNG, or WebP.
Will the filter strip EXIF or GPS?
Yes. Canvas re-encoding removes the EXIF block. If you want to keep metadata, filter a copy and keep the original. If you want EXIF gone for privacy, this tool clears it as a side effect.

Capture-time alternative

Want the date and place on the shot, not just a sepia tone?

A sepia filter changes how a photo looks. The iOS app changes what it proves: date, GPS, and address rendered onto the visible image at the shutter, so the context survives every edit, upload, and screenshot.

Download on theApp Store
iOS 15.6+ · iPhone, iPad, Mac & Vision Pro
  • Visible date, time, GPS, and address on every shot
  • Atomic (network-synced) timestamps
  • JPEG output ready to filter or share
  • Works offline; address fills in later
