Frequently Asked Questions
How do I make an image look like a low-quality JPEG?
Simply upload your image to our tool and adjust the "JPEG Compression" or "WebP Compression" sliders. This simulates lossy compression artifacts, giving your image that classic, blocky, early-web look instantly.
Is my uploaded image secure?
Absolutely. Image Studio operates 100% client-side. This means your images are processed directly inside your web browser and are never uploaded to any external servers, ensuring total privacy.
What is chromatic aberration?
Chromatic aberration (RGB shift) simulates a lens failing to focus all colors to the same convergence point. In our tool, it splits the red, green, and blue channels slightly, creating a popular glitchy, retro-futuristic 3D effect.
Can I simulate old TV and CRT screens?
Yes! Our tool features custom CRT TV Scanline overlays and adjustable vignettes with strength and size controls, allowing you to easily recreate the look of old television monitors, security footage, or vintage VHS tapes.
