Vignette Add & Remove

What is Vignette Add & Remove?

Vignette Add & Remove is an online image tool that either darkens the edges to pull attention toward the center or brightens corners darkened by lens shading. You can adjust strength, center coverage, softness, and shape directly in the browser without opening a separate editor.

Add Vignette is useful when you want portraits, food, or product photos to feel more center-focused. Remove Vignette works well when wide-angle or low-light photos look too dark in the corners. Processing stays local, so your uploaded image is not stored on the server.

• When you want the center of a portrait or product shot to stand out more clearly
• When you want to quickly correct photos with corners darkened by lens shading
• When you want to fine-tune only the vignette and save without opening a heavy editing app

Useful situations for this tool

If a photo feels a little flat right after shooting, adding a vignette can quickly restore a sense of focus toward the center. On the other hand, if indoor or wide-angle shots look darker than expected in the corners, Remove Vignette can give you a fast lens-correction style fix.

If you also want to adjust the overall brightness, continue with Brightness Adjuster. If you also want to refine the color mood, continue with Temperature & Tint Adjuster to finish the correction flow more smoothly.

• Portraits – When you want eyes and upper-body framing to feel more naturally centered
• Product Photos – When you want the product itself to read before the background
• Landscapes – When the sky and outer frame feel too spread out and you want more central focus
• Lens Correction – When you want to brighten corners that look too dark
• Fast pre-upload polish – When you want to make one or two quick adjustments before saving

Key Features

This tool keeps upload, live preview, compare mode, and export in one place so you can quickly test both adding and removing a vignette. You can control how much of the center stays untouched and how soft the edge transition feels with direct sliders.

• Add / Remove mode switch – Switch instantly between darker edges and brighter corner correction.
• Strength and center coverage control – Adjust how strong the effect feels and how wide the center stays.
• Adjust softness and shape – Fine-tune everything from crisp transitions to softer fades and from circular shapes to frame-fitting coverage.
• Quick presets – Start quickly with Soft, Cinema, Portrait Focus, Lens Fix, and other common preset directions.
• Original comparison and multiple export formats – Compare the original and the edited result side by side, then save as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

How to Use

Upload a photo, choose whether you want to add or remove a vignette, adjust the sliders while checking the center and edge changes, then save the version you like. Compare mode makes it easier to avoid overcorrection.

1. Upload Photo – Click the upload area or drag a file onto the page.
2. Choose a mode – Choose Add Vignette to emphasize the center, or Remove Vignette to brighten corners like a lens fix.
3. Adjust strength and center coverage – Set how strong the edge change should feel and how much of the center stays preserved.
4. Adjust softness and shape – Decide whether the transition should be softer, more circular, or more frame-fitted.
5. Compare and save – Check the before/after difference in compare mode, then save as PNG, JPEG, or WebP.

How should you read a vignette setting?

Add Vignette is easiest to understand as gently lowering the outer frame so the center feels brighter and clearer. If the strength is too high, the whole photo can feel heavy, so the safest approach is to keep the center wider, raise softness, and increase strength gradually.

Remove Vignette is closer to restoring brightness when lens shading makes the corners feel dim. If the whole image is already dark, use Brightness Adjuster first to correct the base exposure, then come back here. If you also want a blur effect for mood, pair it with Image Blur.

• Strength – Strength decides how noticeable the edge change is.
• Center Coverage – Center Coverage sets how wide the less-affected middle area stays.
• Softness – Softness decides whether the transition between center and edges feels gentle or more defined.
• Shape – Shape lets you move between a more circular vignette and one that follows the frame ratio.
• Compare Original – Before saving, compare with the original to make sure the edit is not too strong.
