Six Grain Styles, One Click
Each preset balances grain amount, size, and highlight protection the way a real film stock would — fine-tune any of them.
Fine Grain
Tight, subtle texture like a slow-speed film stock. Adds life to clean digital photos without calling attention to itself.
Medium Grain
The balanced default — visible texture that reads as film, not noise. Works on portraits, street, and product shots alike.
Coarse Grain
Bigger, chunkier grain like fast 1600-speed film. Great for gritty documentary and concert photography.
Heavy Push
Dense, contrasty grain like film pushed two stops in the darkroom — dramatic and unapologetically analog.
Faded Print
Gentle grain with strong highlight protection, like an old print where shadows kept texture but bright areas stayed clean.
Night Push
Strong monochromatic grain with minimal highlight protection — mimics high-ISO night shots with sparkling texture.
Why Use This Film Grain Overlay?

Instant, Real-Time Preview

What People Grain
Film grain is the fastest way to make digital photos feel analog

Moody Storytelling
Grainy texture softens over-sharp digital edges and adds atmosphere to night, fog, and street scenes.
