The names describe each look. They are not camera, film or app brands, and the looks are made from tone curves, colour, grain, light, drawing and painting effects, not copied from any product.

How the looks are made

Each look is a short recipe of ordinary image steps: tone curves, separate shadow and highlight recovery, colour shifts in the shadows and highlights, clarity and sharpening for texture, soft focus, a miniature (tilt-shift) or motion blur, a glow around bright areas, grain and dark corners, and for the graphic looks, printed dots, a limited palette or big pixels. The Art looks draw or paint the photo over with pencil lines, ink, washes or brush strokes, and the Seasons looks add falling snow, rain, leaves, petals or fireworks. The old-camera looks also print the date in the corner the way those cameras did, using the day you chose the look. Every look can be adjusted: shadows, highlights, soft focus, grain, dark corners, fade and more.

No AI redraws your picture: the looks change its colour, light and texture, and the Art looks redraw it with ordinary drawing and painting steps, so nothing is invented. The silhouettes, the trend looks that light the person (backlight glow, digicam flash, red light), the Seasons looks and the Person looks (colour splash, spotlight, neon outline, background fade) need to know where the person is. The first time you choose one, your browser downloads a person-detection model from this site, and finds the person on your device. If it finds no one, the silhouettes darken by brightness, the outline follows the strongest edges, and the others treat the middle of the photo as the subject.

The credit line

On this page a small “Made with t.myu” mark, our logo, is added to the bottom corner of the saved picture, so people who like the look can find it. Switch it off under Credit before you download and the file has no mark at all.

Your photo stays with you

The looks are worked out in your browser, so the photo is never uploaded. The red silhouette look in particular keeps only the filtered picture in the file you save: the original colours are not hidden inside it and cannot be recovered from it. Saving also drops most hidden metadata, such as the GPS location your phone may have recorded.

Common questions

How do I make a photo look like it was taken on film?

Choose the photo and tap one of the Film looks, such as Warm film 400 or Gold film 200. Lower the strength if the grain or colour is too strong, then download.

How do I get the 2000s digital camera look?

Tap 2000s digicam under Old cameras. It brightens the middle like a flash, cools the colour, adds noise and prints the date in orange in the corner.

Can I change how strong a look is, or combine looks?

Yes. Each look you tap appears under Applied looks with its own strength slider, from 0% (your original) to 100%. Stack up to four, change their order, and open Adjust on any of them for grain, dark corners, fade, glow or the date stamp.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. Everything runs in your browser and the photo stays on your device.

Is there a watermark?

Only if you keep it. This page adds a small "Made with t.myu" mark in the corner, which one tap under Credit removes. Nothing else is added to the picture.

Can someone remove the red silhouette filter from my photo?

Not from the file this page saves. The red look replaces the colours in the pixels themselves, and the original colours are not kept anywhere in the file.

Can I combine a look with other edits?

Yes. Crop, adjust the light, add text or blur part of the photo in the same editor, or open the full Photo editor with your look kept.

Is it free?

Yes, with no sign-up.
