About Vignette
Vignette darkens the edges and corners of a video while keeping the center bright, giving footage a classic cinematic frame. You control the strength, so you can go from a subtle focus pull to a heavy, moody border. It outputs an MP4 and processes locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions
Can I control how strong the vignette is?
Yes. The strength is adjustable, from a barely-there darkening to a pronounced border.
What format is the output?
An MP4 video.
Which videos are supported?
Any common video file — the tool accepts video/* inputs.
Does it crop or resize my video?
No. The vignette only darkens toward the edges; the framing and dimensions stay the same.
Is the footage uploaded anywhere?
No. The effect is rendered in your browser, so the video never leaves your device.
