Create artistic effects with gradient map
Gradient map is a professional color grading technique used by photographers and designers. It transforms your photos by creating a new palette based on brightness. Our online tool makes this technique accessible to everyone, no software to install. Apply a gradient map (tonal mapping) on an image to replace grayscale levels with a custom gradient: cinematic effect, LUT-style color grading. Adjust hue, saturation, lightness and opacity with real-time preview, then copy clean CSS code (HEX, RGB, HSL) sRGB-compliant for your linear, radial gradients, colored shadows and modern filters.
Luminance-based remapping
The algorithm analyzes each pixel and determines its brightness (from 0% black to 100% white). It then assigns the corresponding color on your gradient. Shadows, midtones and highlights are thus transformed.
Gradient map for cinematic style
Film colorists use gradient map to create unique atmospheres. A teal-orange gradient creates the modern blockbuster look. A sepia gradient evokes vintage. Experiment with different combinations to find your style.
Popular gradient map presets
We offer presets inspired by current trends: Spotify duotone, Kodak film style, neon cyberpunk look, soothing natural atmosphere. One click is enough to apply these styles to your photos.
Advanced multi-color gradient map
Go beyond duotone with complex gradients. Add intermediate colors to target midtones. Create split-toning effects where shadows and highlights have opposing hues.
Free and private processing
Your photos are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring total privacy. Use it without limits for all your projects.
