Apply an adjustable color overlay

Designers can match a photograph to brand colors, prepare a readable banner or give a collection of visuals the same tone.

Tint an image with the color you choose, adjust its opacity and create a consistent mood without hiding the details that still matter.

How to use

  1. Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP image up to 20 MB to prepare the color overlay.
  2. Pick the color that should tint the picture in the available color selector.
  3. Set the opacity to control how strongly the overlay affects the photo without hiding key details.
  4. Check the preview and adjust the color or opacity until the mood looks right.
  5. Run the processing action, then download the result or clear it to try a different tint.

Example

To build a banner with white text, apply a dark overlay at low opacity. The photo remains recognizable, but the contrast behind the text improves. Try several values and check that important details are still visible under the color layer.

Limits and formats

Where processing happens

The color layer is applied locally in your browser. The image is read from your device, combined with the chosen color in memory, and then offered for download. Nothing is sent away, and the original file is not retained by the tool afterward.

Frequently asked questions

Does the overlay change the original colors?

It adds a colored layer over the entire image. Depending on opacity, the starting tones remain more or less visible; a low value tints gently, while a high value pushes the picture closer to a flat color.

Can I apply a color gradient?

No, the control describes one color and one opacity applied uniformly. A gradient would require a more advanced composition tool that can manage several zones or a progressive mask.

Which output format is best for the web?

It depends on transparency and quality needs. PNG suits flat areas and sharp graphics, JPEG stays light for photos, and WebP can help publish images without making pages too heavy.
