The short answer
Why use Tint?
Color corrections are easier to judge when one control changes at a time. The live preview helps you spot clipped highlights, gray shadows, or an unwanted cast before export.
Tint focuses on adjusting tint while watching the pixels change in the preview. These tools work in an 8-bit browser canvas. They are well suited to screen graphics and quick corrections, but they are not a replacement for a color-managed print workflow.
The selected file stays in this browser tab and is released when you leave the page. Keep an eye on skin tones, neutral grays, and smooth skies. Extreme corrections can clip channels or show visible steps.
What Tint does
Open the source photo
Drop, choose, or paste a supported file into Tint. Adjusting tint while watching the pixels change in the preview. The source stays on your device; we work on a copy.
Judge the color shift
Tint is for adjusting tint while watching the pixels change in the preview. The preview is the place to decide if the setting went too far. The original file is not overwritten.
Useful controls
Main controls: Amount, target color, tolerance, or channel controls depending on the job. Working limit: 50 MB and 50 megapixels per image. Watch the preview at full size before you save. A current desktop browser usually has more memory than a phone.
Download a copy
Export is a flattened png or browser-supported raster image. The download is a new file. Keep the original until you have opened the copy once.
Where Tint fits
These are ordinary jobs where the focused controls save time. They also show where a full editor or a manual review may still be the better choice.
Color correction
Fix a cast or uneven tone before an image is published.
Brand matching
Use Tint to move a graphic closer to an existing palette.
Channel inspection
Isolate or compare color information when diagnosing an image problem.

Before you export
- Make one correction at a time so you know which setting helped.
- Use a neutral gray or white object as a reference when one is present.
- Avoid judging color with a dim display or a strong night-mode tint.
- For print-critical work, confirm the result in an ICC-aware desktop app.
