Color Presets
Vibrant Pop
Boosts saturation and vibrancy while keeping colors natural. Makes every color more vivid and eye-catching. Best for: vlogs, lifestyle, travel content.
Dramatic
Deep shadows with bright highlights for a cinematic contrast look. Creates a moody, professional atmosphere. Best for: storytelling, drama, documentary-style content.
Warm Glow
Applies golden, amber tones that feel inviting and energetic. Great for creating a friendly, approachable vibe. Best for: food, lifestyle, morning routine, motivational content.
Cool Modern
Blue-tinted color grading for a tech-forward, modern aesthetic. Makes highlights slightly cool and deepens shadows. Best for: tech reviews, gaming, science, tutorials.
High Contrast
Dramatically increases the difference between light and dark areas. Thumbnails processed with this preset pop at even the smallest sizes. Best for: any content where you need maximum visibility in search results.
Cinematic
Professional movie-poster color grading with orange and teal complementary colors. The same color science used in Hollywood. Best for: film analysis, reviews, high-production vlogs.
Intensity Levels
- Subtle — a gentle touch. The enhancement is noticeable but not dramatic. Good when your original colors are already decent.
- Medium — the default. A balanced enhancement that noticeably improves the image without looking over-processed.
- Strong — maximum effect. The color grading is dramatic and obvious. Use for thumbnails that need to really stand out.
Tips
- Try multiple presets — the best preset depends on your source image and content niche
- Start with Medium intensity and adjust if needed
- Combine with Background Remover — remove the background first, enhance colors, then add a new background for maximum impact
- Check at small size — color enhancements that look subtle full-size might disappear at thumbnail size. Don't be afraid of the Strong setting.
- Each enhancement uses 1 credit
