Image Saturation & Hue Editor
Boost or mute a photo's colors and shift its hue with two adjustable sliders. Free, no signup, works in your browser.
Everything runs inside your browser — your file is never uploaded to a server.
About this tool
This tool gives you full control over the vividness and color tone of a photo using two sliders: one for saturation, which controls how vivid or muted colors look, and one for hue rotation, which shifts every color around the color wheel. Push saturation up to 400% for punchy, eye-catching colors, or drop it toward zero for a nearly grayscale, muted mood. The hue slider lets you creatively shift greens to blues, reds to purples, or any other rotation, which is a fun way to experiment with alternate color schemes without touching the original file. Upload a JPG, PNG or WebP image, adjust both sliders while watching the live canvas preview, and export the result once it looks right. Both filters are applied using the browser's native rendering engine, so previews stay smooth even on larger photos, and everything runs locally without ever uploading your image. There's no account, no watermark, and no limit on usage.

Why use this tool
Colors that look flat straight out of a camera can be brought to life with a saturation boost, while the hue rotation slider opens up creative color-grading possibilities that would normally require a dedicated photo editor. Since everything runs directly in your browser, you get instant, private results without installing software or worrying about upload limits.
Tips & best practices
- A saturation boost of 20-40% often makes landscape and food photography look noticeably more appetizing.
- Use small hue shifts of 5-15 degrees to subtly warm or cool an image's overall tone.
- Combine a slight saturation reduction with a hue shift for a moody, cinematic color grade.

Frequently asked questions
What does the saturation slider control?
It controls how vivid or muted the colors look, from 0% for grayscale-like tones up to 400% for extremely vivid colors.
What does hue rotation actually do?
It shifts every color around the color wheel by the chosen number of degrees, turning reds into purples, greens into blues, and so on.
Can I combine saturation and hue changes?
Yes, both sliders work independently and can be combined for creative color grading effects.
Will increasing saturation add noise to the photo?
No, saturation adjustments don't add noise, though extreme values can make color banding more visible in some images.
Is the photo uploaded anywhere during editing?
No, all processing happens locally in your browser using canvas, so your photo never leaves your device.
