Questions
Why add grain to a photo?+
Grain adds texture, hides banding in skies and makes digital photos feel like film.
How much grain looks natural?+
Around 20–35%. Go higher for a gritty, pushed-film look.
Gray or colored grain?+
Gray grain looks like black and white film or a clean analog texture. Colored grain looks like color film or an older digital sensor.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. The grain is added in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
