Frequently Asked Questions
It is the bold, toy-camera style made famous by Lomo cameras: heavy vignette in the corners, punchy saturated color, strong contrast, and a bit of unpredictable character. It turns an ordinary shot into something graphic and moody.
Push the vignette up so the corners go dark, raise saturation and contrast, and add a little grain. The darkened frame pulling the eye to the center is the signature move.
They overlap, but lomo is bolder and more graphic, where a vintage filter is softer and more faded. If the vintage look feels too gentle, lomo is the punchier option.
Shots with a clear subject in the center, or strong colors, take the lomo treatment well because the vignette and saturation reinforce them.

About This Tool
Lomo cameras were cheap plastic toys that got everything "wrong," and photographers fell in love with the result. Dark vignetted corners, oversaturated color, hard contrast, and a bit of unpredictable character turned ordinary snapshots into something graphic and alive. This page recreates that lomography style.
Upload a photo and push the vignette so the corners go dark, then raise saturation and contrast until the color pops. A little grain finishes it. The darkened frame pulling your eye to the center of the photo is the signature lomo move, so do not be shy with it.
It works best on shots with a clear central subject or strong colors, since the vignette and saturation reinforce them. Where a vintage filter is soft and faded, lomo is the opposite: punchy and bold. Reach for it when you want a photo to feel loud rather than nostalgic.
Everything runs in your browser with no upload, on mobile and desktop alike. It is free, with no account and no watermark, so export at full quality and post away.
