What is Image Filter Tool?
Image Filter Tool applies visual effects to photos and graphics. Filters can sharpen detail, soften an image, detect edges, emboss shapes, or adjust color and tone. The tool processes the image on a browser canvas, previews the selected effect, and exports the filtered result.
How does Image Filter Tool work?
This tool decodes the image and applies filter math to canvas pixels. Some filters use direct channel adjustments, while others use convolution kernels that compare neighboring pixels. The preview shows the filtered output before download.
