Add a vignette effect to darken and fade the edges of your photos.
Our free vignette effect tool lets you easily add a classic darkened edge effect to any image. A vignette gradually darkens the corners and edges of your photo while keeping the center bright, creating a subtle frame that draws attention to your subject. Perfect for portraits, landscapes, or adding a vintage feel to any photograph.

A vignette effect is a reduction in brightness or saturation at the periphery of an image compared to the center. Traditional vignettes appear as a gradual darkening toward the corners and edges of a photo. This effect can be used to draw attention to the center of the image, create a vintage look, or add a dramatic mood to photographs.
Vignettes help direct the viewer's attention to the center of the image by reducing distractions at the edges. They can add a dreamy, nostalgic, or vintage quality to photos, create a mood or atmosphere, frame the subject, or soften harsh edges. Professional photographers often use subtle vignettes to add depth and focus to their images.
Natural vignettes occur during photography due to optical properties of camera lenses or lens attachments. Artificial vignettes are added in post-processing (like with our tool). While natural vignettes may be considered lens flaws in some contexts, both types can be used creatively to enhance the visual impact of an image.
Yes! Our tool allows you to adjust the intensity (how dark the vignette gets) and size (how far the darkening extends from the edges toward the center) of the vignette effect. This gives you precise control over the look and feel of the final result.
Vignettes can be applied to virtually any image, but they work particularly well for portraits, landscapes, and artistic photography. The effect may be less noticeable on images that are already dark around the edges or have very busy backgrounds. You can always adjust the intensity to find what works best for your specific image.
