Video filters and colour in your browser
Most footage straight off a phone is a little flat, a little dark, or tinted by whatever light it was shot under. A preset gets you most of the way in one click, and the sliders let you finish the job by eye.
How to filters online
Open your video
Drop in the clip and switch to the Filters tool.
Try a look
Vivid, black and white, vintage, warm, cool, faded or dramatic. Each one sets the sliders for you.
Fine-tune
Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, blur, greyscale and sepia to taste.
Export
The grade is rendered into the exported frames, so it looks the same everywhere.
Start from a preset, finish by eye
Presets are a starting point, not a destination. Pick the one closest to what you want, then nudge brightness and contrast until it looks right on your screen. Moving any slider switches the preset to Custom so you always know you have gone off-preset, and Reset filters returns everything to neutral.
Fixing the two most common problems
Underexposed footage usually needs brightness up and contrast up slightly, otherwise it turns grey. Footage shot under warm indoor lighting reads orange: the Cool preset shifts hue and pulls saturation back, which is normally enough to make skin tones look natural again.
Your video never leaves your device
Most online video editors upload your file to their servers before you can touch it. This one works differently: every edit and every export happens inside your browser, on your own hardware.
Grading is an experiment: you try a look, undo it, push a slider too far and pull it back. Each of those attempts on an upload-based editor is another round trip and another copy of your footage on a server.
Locally, trying things is free. The preview grades the frames live on your own hardware, so you can change your mind as often as you like without re-sending anything.
Filters — questions and answers
What exactly can I adjust?
Eight one-click looks for a fast result, plus seven manual sliders when you want to be specific — brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth and the rest. The two work together: apply a look, then nudge a slider.
Does the preview match the exported file?
Yes. The preview applies the same grading that the export writes, so what you see while dragging a slider is what lands in the finished file.
Can I undo a filter?
Every slider resets, and the dot on the tool tab shows you when a tool has been touched, so you can always tell what has been changed and put it back.
Will grading change the file size?
It can. Pushing contrast and saturation hard gives the encoder more detail to describe, which can make the file slightly larger at the same quality setting. Dropping a clip to black and white usually makes it smaller.
Do filters work on a phone?
Yes, though grading is the most demanding tool here. On an older phone the preview may update less smoothly than on a computer, and the export will take longer.
Is my video uploaded to apply filters?
No. The grading is applied by your browser to a file that stays on your device.
Why are the filters unavailable in my browser?
Filters need canvas filter support. Every current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari has it; a very old browser will show a notice instead of the controls.
Can I use filters with the other tools?
Yes. Filters, crop, rotate, text, speed and resize all apply together in a single export.
