Venngage offers a robust set of tools to transform your images, making them more engaging and aligned with your design vision. The Image Effects menu provides a variety of options.
 

Filters

  • Greyscale: Convert your image to black and white.

  • Sepia: Apply a warm, brownish tone for a vintage feel.

  • Warm: Add a yellowish tint for a cozy atmosphere.

  • Cool: Introduce a bluish hue for a calm effect.

  • Retro: Give your image a nostalgic, faded look.

  • Intensify: Boosts the colors and contrast for a more vibrant, striking image.
                    Note: The Intensify filter works best on photos with rich colors to make them pop on your design.
