How it works

  1. Upload your photo

    Upload any photo for color work. Images with varied tones give the AI more to work with for moody filter adjustments. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

    Expect: Moody filter application: 15-20 seconds. No refinements typically needed.
  2. Describe the moody aesthetic you want

    Type your instruction: 'apply moody filter' or 'make it look dark and cinematic with desaturated tones and deep shadows.' Be specific about intensity or color tone if you have preferences. No marking needed—the AI applies the mood globally.

    Tip: Say 'moody with teal and orange tones' or 'dark moody black and white' to guide the specific color palette. The AI adjusts the aesthetic based on your description.
