Film look preview

Upload a photo and grade it with a film stock's colour character. Everything stays in your browser.

A stylised colour grade from each film's tonal character — a fun preview, not a true emulation.

About this tool

Curious how a scene might render on a particular film stock? Upload a photo and pick a stock, and the tool previews your image graded with that stock's colour character. It runs on canvas in your browser as a visual approximation of tone and palette, not a claim to reproduce the exact emulsion, so treat it as a creative reference.

How to use it

  1. Upload a photo from your device.
  2. Choose a film stock whose colour character you want to try.
  3. Let the browser render the graded preview on canvas.
  4. Compare stocks to find a palette you like.

FAQ

Is this the same as really shooting that film?

No. It is a colour approximation based on each stock's character, not a scientific emulsion match. Real film adds grain, exposure response, and lab variation that a screen preview cannot fully capture.

Does my photo leave my device?

The grading runs on canvas in your browser, so the image is processed locally rather than uploaded to a server for the preview.
