Frequently Asked Questions
What offset should I use?
Start at 5 for subtle effect. Higher for stronger separation.
Works on all images?
JPG, PNG, and WebP images are supported by the upload control. Results vary by image content.
Can I use commercially?
Yes, aberrated images can be used commercially.
What output quality?
The processed result is exported as a JPEG.
Is data private?
The visual effect is processed in your browser. When you choose Download, the processed JPEG is sent through the download-result service so the download page can be prepared.
Real chromatic aberration?
Simulates the optical effect with RGB separation.
How RGB channel separation works
This effect shifts the red and blue color channels horizontally in opposite directions while retaining the image structure. Increasing the channel offset makes the colored edges more visible. The tool creates an artistic simulation of chromatic aberration rather than correcting optical lens aberration.
Browser-based image processing
The visual transformation is performed with browser canvas processing. The uploaded image is drawn to a canvas and the selected effect is applied before the result is prepared for download.
JPEG output
The processed canvas is encoded as a JPEG for download. The downloaded file is JPEG encoded, so its compression characteristics can differ from those of the original uploaded image.
Choosing an image for this effect
JPG, PNG, and WebP images are supported by the upload control. The appearance of the effect depends on the colors, contrast, details, and composition of the source image. Try different settings when available to find a result that suits the image.
What happens to image dimensions?
The processing canvas uses the loaded image width and height. The effect changes the visual pixel content rather than acting as an image resizing tool.
Tips for better effect results
- Start with a clear source image at a useful resolution.
- Use the available control gradually instead of assuming the maximum setting will look best.
- Compare the processed preview with the source before downloading.
- Remember that the final downloaded file is JPEG output.
