Duotone Photo Studio
Apply a two-colour duotone effect to a photo and export it.
A photo in two colours
A duotone maps a photograph's tones onto just two colours — shadows to one, highlights to another — for a bold, stylised, on-brand look. This applies a duotone to your image and lets you export it, so you can turn an ordinary photo into a striking graphic.
Add an image and choose the two colours.
Why duotones look so cohesive
Duotone is a favourite of designers because it unifies images instantly: run a set of mismatched photos through the same two-colour duotone and they suddenly look like a coordinated collection, which is why brands use it across whole sites. The effect also carries mood — the choice of the two colours sets everything from moody and dramatic to bright and energetic. The trick to a good duotone is choosing colours with enough difference in lightness between the shadow and highlight tones, so the image keeps its detail and depth rather than turning flat. Done well, it is a simple way to make photography feel designed and consistent, and it processes in your browser so your image stays on your device.
