What Is a Vignette Effect?

A vignette is a photographic technique that darkens (or brightens) the edges of an image while keeping the center clear, naturally drawing the viewer's eye toward the subject. It originated in early photography as an optical aberration of camera lenses and is now widely used intentionally in portraits, product photography, and artistic edits. This tool renders the vignette using a radial gradient overlay, entirely in your browser — no files are uploaded.

FAQ

What do Strength, Size, and Softness do?

Strength controls the maximum opacity of the darkened edge — 100% means fully opaque at the corners. Size controls how far the darkening extends toward the center. Softness controls how gradual the transition is — a higher value means a smoother, more gentle fade.

Can I use a white vignette?

Yes — select White from the color presets or pick any color. A white vignette creates an "airy" or "faded" look popular in wedding and lifestyle photography.

Will the vignette affect transparent PNG areas?

The gradient is drawn using the browser's Canvas compositing. Transparent areas will receive the vignette color with the corresponding alpha, so they become semi-transparent colored edges. Use a black vignette on a PNG with transparency to keep the result consistent.
