Frequently Asked Questions

What is solarization?

Solarization inverts tones above threshold for artistic effect.

What intensity to use?

50% for balanced. Higher for more dramatic effect.

Works on all images?

The upload control supports JPG, PNG, and WebP images.

Can I use commercially?

Yes, solarized images can be used commercially.

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.

Original photo look?

Can adjust intensity from 0% for original.

How the solarization effect works

The Solarize Effect evaluates the image's color channels against a tonal threshold and modifies values above that threshold. The intensity setting controls the strength of the transformation. This produces a stylized solarized appearance rather than reproducing a physical photographic darkroom process.

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.
