How the Sunburst Effect works

The Sunburst tool draws radial light-ray graphics over the source image using browser Canvas rendering. The effect is composited with the original image to create a stylized burst of light.

Browser-based processing

The effect is generated with browser image and Canvas processing. No separate server conversion step is used for the visual effect itself.

What the effect changes

Sunburst is a decorative overlay effect; it does not detect real light sources or physically simulate scene lighting.

Tips for better results

Start with a clear source image and use moderate settings before increasing the effect. Compare the preview with the original because stronger processing can intentionally reduce or exaggerate visible detail.
