What this tool does
Add Film Grain to Image performs its stated operation with browser image decoding and Canvas processing. It validates empty files, decode failures, dimensions, and a 40-megapixel safety ceiling.
Input pixels → validated local processing → new downloadable output
The output reflects browser-decoded pixels. Animated GIF input becomes a single frame, and color profiles may not be preserved.
Supported formats
PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and safely decodable SVG can be selected. Browser support and available memory determine the practical maximum size.
| Format | Support |
|---|---|
| PNG / JPEG / WebP | Recommended |
| GIF | First decoded frame |
| SVG | Browser-decoded raster output only |
Tips for better results
- Keep an untouched copy of the source.
- Use PNG when transparency or sharp graphic edges matter.
- Preview at full size before publishing or printing.
FAQ
Does this tool upload my image?
No. Processing uses browser APIs on your device. The page does not send the selected image to a server.
Will EXIF metadata remain in the output?
Canvas-rendered image outputs normally omit the original EXIF block. Report tools only read browser-visible file properties.
What happens with a very large image?
The tool stops before processing images above its pixel safety limit because large canvases can exhaust memory, especially on phones.
Which image formats work best?
PNG, JPEG, and WebP are the most dependable choices. GIF input is decoded as a single frame, and SVG support depends on safe browser decoding.
Can I use the result for professional printing?
Check the exported pixel dimensions and your printer requirements. Browser canvas does not provide press-grade ICC color management.
