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.

  • Add a moody border to a music video or atmospheric B-roll clip
  • Tone down a distractingly bright background at the edges of an interview shot
  • Create a vintage, old-film vibe with a strong vignette on archival-style footage
  • Unify the look across a montage by applying a consistent vignette strength to each clip

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.
