Frequently Asked Questions
It is the warm, golden color that Kodak film stocks like Gold and Portra are known for: gentle warmth in the highlights, soft and flattering skin tones, a fine grain, and a slight glow rather than clinical sharpness. It reads as cozy and a little nostalgic.
Start from the Kodak Gold preset that loads automatically, then push warmth up a touch, keep saturation moderate, and add a fine grain. Gold leans golden and punchy, while Portra is softer and more muted, so ease the contrast back for a Portra feel.
It recreates the overall warm, grainy film character rather than cloning one specific stock. Real film varies with exposure and scanning, so treat this as the Kodak vibe you can tune, not a precise lab match.

About This Tool
Kodak film has a color signature people recognize without knowing the name. Gold runs warm and golden with punchy, friendly color. Portra is softer and more muted, famous for the way it renders skin. Both share a gentle warmth, a fine grain, and a soft roll-off in the highlights that digital sensors tend to miss. This page rebuilds that warm film character on a normal photo.
Load a photo and the Kodak Gold preset is applied automatically as a base. From there the moves that matter are Warmth, a moderate amount of Saturation, and a fine Grain. For a Gold feel, keep the color punchy and a little contrasty. For a Portra feel, ease the contrast back and let the tones stay soft and muted.
The look is forgiving on portraits and golden-hour shots, where the warmth flatters skin and sunlight. Keep grain fine rather than heavy, and resist over-saturating, since real Kodak film is warm but never neon. A little glow in the highlights finishes the film feel.
Everything runs in your browser, so your photo is never uploaded, and it works on phones and desktops including HEIC files from an iPhone. It is free, with no sign-up and no watermark on your exports.
