Film Grain

Authentic analog texture in one click

A free, in-browser film grain tool that adds authentic analog texture to your photos for a vintage, 35mm film look. Choose from soft, film, and color grain modes, dial in intensity and grain size, and optionally layer in dust and scratches. No signup, no watermark.

  1. Upload your photo — Open zebra.tg/grain and drag in (or select) the image you want to age. Everything runs in your browser, so the file never has to leave your device.
  2. Pick a grain mode — Choose soft for a subtle texture, film for a classic 35mm look, or color for chromatic noise. This sets the overall character of the grain before you fine-tune it.
  3. Adjust intensity and grain size — Use the intensity slider to control how visible the grain is, then set the grain size to fine, medium, or coarse depending on how heavy you want the effect.
  4. Add optional finishing touches — Turn on the dust and scratches layer for an aged, well-worn film feel, and apply B&W desaturation if you want a classic black-and-white film result.
  5. Download your image — When the look is right, download the finished photo straight from the browser. There's no watermark added to your export.

Is the film grain tool free?

Yes. Zebra's film grain tool is completely free to use, with no signup required and no watermark added to your downloads.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The tool runs in your mobile browser, so you can add film grain on a phone or tablet without installing an app.

Are my photos private?

Your photo is processed in your browser, so it stays on your device and isn't uploaded to a server just to add grain.

What kinds of grain can I add?

There are three modes: soft for a subtle texture, film for a 35mm look, and color for chromatic noise. You can also adjust intensity and choose fine, medium, or coarse grain size.

Can I make a black-and-white film look?

Yes. Turn on the B&W desaturation option to get a classic black-and-white film result, and combine it with the dust and scratches layer for an extra-vintage feel.

Does adding grain reduce my photo's quality?

The tool adds a grain texture and optional dust and scratches on top of your image rather than degrading it, so your photo keeps its original resolution and detail.
