Analog film effect for photos

Dorr’s Analog effect gives a photo a warm film tone with fine vertical scratches and dust, like a scanned print from an old film camera. Lower strengths look muted and almost gray; higher strengths turn golden and amber. Apply it free in the web editor and save a PNG, with no sign-up.

What changes at 35, 70 and 100%

At 35% the sample loses most of its color (saturation about 62% lower) and looks muted, and the scratches are already visible. At 70% the tone turns warm. At 100% it becomes a deep amber and measured saturation is about 66% higher than the original, now in warm tones. Brightness drops only slightly, by about 5% at 100%.

On a sunny landscape

The green and yellow leaves along the road turn golden, and measured saturation roughly doubles (about +108% at 70%). The scratches show most on the bright road surface. Analog suits summer and travel photos that should feel like a memory from an old camera.

How to add a film effect to a photo online

  1. Open your photo

    Start with your own photo or the sample. The photo is edited in your browser and is not uploaded for editing.

  2. Choose Effects → Analog

    The color change and the scratches come together, so lower the strength if either feels too strong. You can also add a filter or a texture on top.

  3. Save the PNG

    Choose Save to download a PNG up to 720 pixels on its longest side. Save before you leave the page.

GOOD TO KNOW

Frequently asked questions

Is Analog free?

Yes. Analog is not a Pro item, so you can preview and save it free in the web editor and in the iPhone and Android app.

Can I combine Analog with a filter?

Yes. Analog is in Effects, so you can use it together with one filter and one texture, each with its own strength. For example, add Flare from Textures for a light leak, or Vintage from Filters for softer, faded color.

Does the app use the same Analog?

Yes. The web editor uses the same Analog as the Dorr app. In the app you can also add text, correct perspective and undo steps, and Dorr Pro saves in HD.
