How to apply photo filters to your photo.
1. Select image.
Upload images from your device or browse thousands of free Adobe Stock images to find the perfect photo for your project.
2. Apply a photo filter.
Select your photo, then open the Effects menu. Select a filter like Golden hour or Matte black and white to add depth and style. Then adjust the intensity of the filter using the slide tool.
3. Continue editing.
Fine-tune your photo’s opacity, position, background, and more. Add it to any Adobe Express project or download it to share anywhere.
Enhance images with photo filters.
See your photos in a new light, figuratively and literally, when using photo filters. Lighten up a dark photo. Add a soft contrast for an artistic touch. Or up the vibrancy with the Color punch filter. Adjust the filter intensity easily with the slider tool. Now you have more control over the quality of images you use in your marketing materials, social media posts, or even family photo albums.
What once was vintage is now new and chic.
Adobe Express has a wide range of photo filters to choose from. Vintage filters like black and white and sepia tones can give your project an unexpected look. Whether it's an author photo for a book jacket, a corporate headshot, or an image for a sentimental greeting card, you can achieve that shot-on-film look.
Edit your way to something new.
After you’ve applied your filter, you can continue to edit the photo in Adobe Express. With features like Remove background and Insert object, you can completely change the composition of your image. Add other pre-loaded design assets, fonts, icons, or GIFs to personalize your image. Animation options also add an element of whimsy to presentations, slideshows, and anywhere else you plan to feature your expertly edited photo.
Tons of free templates, video, and audio assets to start from.
Turn your newly edited image into a stunning flyer, social post, album cover, profile photo, and unlimited other designs. Explore our template library to get started.
