Frequently asked questions
What is a vignette?
A vignette is gradual darkening or lightening toward the corners of an image. It began as a lens artifact and is now also applied deliberately to draw attention toward the subject.
Which vignette style should I pick?
Darken is the classic editorial look. Lighten gives a brighter high-key feel, while warm and cool tint modes add a colored edge treatment.
How do I avoid an obvious vignette?
Use higher softness and moderate strength, then keep the inner radius large enough that the falloff begins gradually. Review the preview at the intended display size before exporting.
Is the Vignette Effect tool free?
Yes. All tools on Pixlane are free with no signup required.
Does it reuse cached assets on repeat visits?
Browser caching can speed repeat visits; uncached site assets can still require an internet connection.
What image formats are supported?
JPG, PNG, and WebP are supported.
Can I use vignettes for product photography?
A subtle dark vignette can help focus attention on a central product. Keep the strength moderate and review the edges so the effect does not obscure important details.
