Six Vignette Styles, One Click
Each preset sets a different balance of strength, softness, and clear-center size — fine-tune any of them with the sliders.
Soft Corner
A gentle darkening that only touches the corners — most viewers will never notice it, they will just feel the photo is more focused.
Classic
The balanced default vignette: clearly visible, naturally soft, and flattering on almost any subject from food to landscapes.
Heavy Shade
Deep, dramatic corners that pull every eye to the center. Strong choice for moody portraits and dramatic stills.
Spotlight
A small bright center with a long, soft falloff — like a stage light on your subject. Ideal for single-object shots.
Portrait
A slightly larger clear center so faces and shoulders stay bright while edges recede. The safe choice for people shots.
Film Frame
A firmer, faster falloff like an old lens or toy camera — edges darken noticeably, giving an analog frame feel.

What People Vignette
The vignette is the oldest trick in photography — because it works
Portrait Focus
A soft vignette dims distractions at the edges and keeps attention on faces. For pure tones first, try the black and white converter.
Product and Food Shots
Center-weighted shading adds depth to flat lighting and makes subjects pop on busy feeds.
Print Finishing
A film-style vignette hides bright, empty edges in prints. Check output size first with our DPI calculator.
Cinematic Mood
Combined with a matte fade from our fade filter, a vignette gives photos an instant cinematic frame.
