12 Film Stocks
Four categories — each with its own tone curves, grain character, and optical effects.
Color Negative
Portra 160 ISO 160
Lifted shadows, restrained saturation, blush-pink warmth. The portrait studio standard.
Gold 200 ISO 200
Rich golden midtones, deep warm shadows, honeyed highlight roll-off. Classic consumer negative.
Superia 400 ISO 400
Vivid greens, cool airy blues, clean natural colours. Fuji's signature daylight look.
Natura 1600 ISO 800
Indigo shadows, amber halos around artificial lights. Built for available-light work.
Cinema
Vision3 50D ISO 50D
Near-invisible grain, enormous dynamic range. The slowest and cleanest motion picture stock.
Vision3 500T ISO 500T
The workhorse tungsten cinema negative. Subtle teal shadows, controlled warm highlights.
CineStill 800T ISO 800T
Iconic teal shadows, warm amber highlights, glowing red halation around light sources.
Black & White
Tri-X 400 ISO 400
Deep blacks, punchy contrast, characterful grain. The film of photojournalism since 1954.
Delta 3200 ISO 3200
T-grain technology. Pronounced clumped grain, smooth highlight roll-off. Moody low-light.
Special
Ortho 25 ORTHO
Orthochromatic — blind to red, blue sky near-black. Finished with warm sepia tone.
Aerochrome INFRA
False-colour infrared. Foliage shifts vivid magenta-red, clear skies turn cyan. Otherworldly.
Isopan FF PANCHRO
Early 1940s panchromatic emulsion. Faded reds, severe vignette, oxidised grain. Wartime look.

Under the Hood
Actual image processing — not Instagram filters or flat LUT overlays.
Luminance-Aware Grain
Gaussian-distributed noise that varies with pixel brightness — less in highlights, more in shadows. Matches real emulsion behaviour.
Halation
Red/orange glow that bleeds around bright light sources, matching the red-sensitive backing layer of real negative film.
Optical Bloom
Soft highlight bleed that simulates light scattering through an older lens or fast-speed stock pushed in development.
Vignette
Smoothly darkened corners with per-stock default strength, fully adjustable in Advanced mode.
False-Colour & Ortho Remapping
Aerochrome uses a colour matrix to shift greens→magentas and blues→cyan. Ortho 25 desaturates reds as real orthochromatic film would.
The Effects, Visible
Each optical effect is generated mathematically — not a flat overlay.

Recommended Cameras
Older digital sensors that don't over-process highlights work best with Filmify. These cameras — and similar ones — have the natural tonal latitude that the film engine loves. Early iPhones (4, 4S, 5) also respond very well.

FAQ
Is it really free?+
Yes. No costs, no watermarks, no premium tier. All 12 stocks, both modes, full-resolution export — free, no account needed.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?+
No. Everything runs locally in your browser via the Canvas API. Your images never leave your device. No server ever sees your files.
What file formats are supported?+
JPG, PNG, and WebP as input. Any resolution. Export is always a full-resolution PNG processed at the original pixel dimensions.
What's the difference between Quick and Advanced mode?+
Quick mode gives you 4 controls (Brightness, Grain, Glow, Look) that are friendly aliases for engine parameters. Advanced mode unlocks individual effect toggles, ±3 EV exposure in ¼-stop steps, film age, contrast, per-channel color fine-tuning (saturation, shadow and highlight RGB tint), and B&W color filter simulation.
Are these accurate emulations of the real film stocks?+
They're our own stylized interpretations, not digital clones. Inspired by the character of classic stocks, but fully our own — that's why the names differ from the real thing.
Why does grain look different in the preview vs. the download?+
Preview is capped at 1800px for performance. Grain strength is scaled accordingly so it looks comparable, but the downloaded PNG processes your image at full original resolution — grain is generated fresh at that resolution.
Can I use processed photos commercially?+
Yes. Whatever you process is entirely yours. No attribution needed, no restrictions.
What is the Hover Zoom Loupe?+
When you hover over the preview image in the editor, a 1.5× magnifier window follows your cursor. Useful for checking grain texture and fine detail before downloading.
What cameras work best?+
Older digital cameras that don't over-process highlights tend to work best — the tonal latitude gives the film engine more to work with. See the Recommended Cameras section above for tested models with sample galleries.
