Click the upload area or drag and drop your photo. Supported formats include JPEG, PNG, and WebP. For best results, choose images with good contrast and interesting subjects.

Choose Your Style

Select between classic pink-green duotone or color-blind friendly alternatives. The classic mode provides vibrant artistic effects, while accessible mode ensures visibility for all users.

3

Adjust the Effect

Use the reverse toggle to swap highlight and shadow colors. This can dramatically change the mood of your image - experiment to find what works best for your specific photo.

4

Watch the real-time preview as you make adjustments. The changes are instant thanks to GPU acceleration, allowing you to quickly iterate and find the perfect look.

5

Download Your Result

Once satisfied, download your edited image. The original quality is preserved, and you can choose the filename. Your original image remains untouched on your device.

💡 Pro Tips & Tricks

🎯 Image Selection

Choose images with strong contrast and interesting lighting. Photos taken during golden hour or with dramatic shadows work exceptionally well with duotone effects.

🌈 Color Psychology

Pink tones evoke warmth and emotion, while green suggests nature and tranquility. Use reverse mapping to create different moods - pink shadows for mystery, green highlights for energy.

📐 Composition Matters

Duotone effects work best with simple, strong compositions. Busy backgrounds can become distracting when color-filtered, so focus on images with clear subjects.

⚡ Performance Tips

For large images (>10MP), consider resizing before processing on mobile devices. Our tool handles any size, but smaller images process faster on limited hardware.

🎨 Creative Applications

Try duotone effects on black and white photos for unique results. The lack of original color information often produces more dramatic and artistic effects.

💾 File Management

Organize your work by saving both original and edited versions. Our tool doesn't modify your original file, making it easy to experiment freely.
