Seven Black and White Filters. One Click Each.
Pick a filter and watch your photo change instantly — no sliders to configure first. Every one of noir.photos' seven black and white filters is a complete, ready-made look, applied the moment you click it. The photo never leaves your browser while you decide which one fits.
Open a photo and try all seven filters — free, no upload, no account needed.
Seven ready-made looks
Classic Noir gives a balanced, high-contrast monochrome. Silver Gelatin echoes a traditional darkroom print. High Contrast pushes blacks and whites hard, with little grey in between. 35mm Grain adds visible film texture. Soft Portrait is tuned for skin tones. Cinematic Noir leans into deep shadow. Duotone maps the photo onto black and paper white. Each is a full look, not a single adjustment.
See the change before you commit
Every filter applies live, so you can click through all seven and compare before deciding. A before/after slider lets you check the result against your original at any point, and you can zoom in on a large photo to look closely at grain or contrast in one area without losing the rest of the image.
Still yours to fine-tune
A filter is a starting point, not a final answer. If a look is close but not quite right, the full adjustment panel is still one tab away — for whenever a click isn't quite enough.
Nothing leaves your device
The photo you're filtering is processed entirely on your device — nothing is sent to a server while you browse looks or export the result. When you download, EXIF and location metadata are removed automatically, so the exported file carries less information about you than the original.
Frequently asked questions
Which black and white filter should I pick?
It depends on the photo and the mood you want. High Contrast and Classic Noir suit dramatic or street shots, Soft Portrait is built for faces, 35mm Grain adds a vintage film texture, and Duotone gives a graphic, two-tone result. Try a few — switching between them is instant.
Can I still adjust exposure or contrast after picking a filter?
Yes. Applying a filter doesn't lock the image — the adjustment panel remains available so you can push the look further in any direction.
Do I need an account or do I have to upload my photo?
No. There's no signup and no upload. The photo is processed in your browser, and a live panel shows exactly how many bytes are sent while you work — it reads zero.
What image formats can I use, and what do I get back?
You can start from JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or HEIC, and export the filtered photo as JPG, PNG, or WebP at full resolution.
