About Tint

Tint overlays a solid color at adjustable alpha. Original detail shows through because the fill uses transparency, not replacement. Higher opacity means stronger mood, lower means subtle warmth.

Opacity: 15–30% tints while keeping faces recognizable. 40–60% creates strong duotone for text overlays. 70%+ is near-solid for dramatic posters. White text needs 40%+ dark tint for WCAG contrast.

Color: Blues calm and corporate, reds urgent for sales, warm ambers vintage-grade sunsets, blacks cinematic. Enter 3 or 6 digit hex with or without #.

Quality: Same resolution, PNG export. Tint is uniform — vignette or gradient needs your editor after export.

Privacy: Canvas compositing stays in your tab. No upload of campaign or personal images.

Limits: Single color, no blend modes, no selective masking. For multiply or screen blends, export then finish in photo software.

Where it is used

Hero banners with readable white text over blue wash, Instagram story tints matching campaign palette, duotone posters from single photos, sale and festival overlays for shops, unifying mixed stock photos into one report theme, and accessibility tints calming bright backgrounds.
