Your file never leaves your device. Processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Location and camera metadata (EXIF) are removed from the result.

Colors shift toward brown. Width and height stay the same. Transparent pixels turn white only if you save JPG.

How to make a sepia image

1. Drop one or more photos. Audio and PDF files are refused here. 2. Leave Full for the brown look, or pick Light when you only want a hint. 3. Press “Make sepia” and compare the download with the original.

The mix is the same matrix as the CSS sepia filter. 100% replaces the colors. 50% keeps half of the original color. Save PNG if the photo has a clear background you need to keep.

Sepia is not grayscale

Grayscale image removes color and leaves brightness. This page pushes reds and greens toward brown and pulls blue down. Invert colors flips each channel instead of tinting it. Blur image softens edges and does not add brown.

A photo that is already gray stays close to gray, because there is no color left to warm. Start from the color original if you want the brown.

The photo stays in this tab

The canvas builds the new file here. Camera location is not copied. Close the tab and the picture is gone.

How to pick the brown without guessing

1. Start at Full and look at skin and sky in the download. 2. If the brown is too heavy, run again at Medium or Light. 3. Save PNG when a logo needs a clear background.

Sepia follows the CSS mix. It does not blur and it does not raise contrast. Grayscale is the page that only removes color. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get a lighter brown?

Yes. Choose Light (50%) or Medium (75%). Full is the CSS sepia at 100%.

Will a logo on a clear background survive?

In PNG or WebP, yes. JPG has no transparency, so the empty area becomes white and then takes the tint.

Does sepia hide a face?

No. The face is still there, in brown. Blur face is the page that covers an area.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. The tint runs in this tab.

The gray photo did not turn brown. Why?

There was no color left to warm. Drop the color original, not a file that already went through Grayscale.

Can I sepia one face and leave the room alone?

No. The tint covers every pixel. Crop first if you only want part of the picture.
