Questions
What overlays are included?
Warm and pink light leaks, a sun flare, light rays, bokeh lights, a dreamy glow, dust and scratches, faded film and a canvas texture. Each is drawn fresh for your photo at its own size, so there is no stretched overlay file and no visible repeat.
Can I change where the light comes from?
Yes. Pick a corner or an edge under Light comes from, and the leak, flare or rays start there. Variation reshuffles the shape of the light while keeping the same style, and Strength controls how much of it you see.
Why do the light effects never darken the photo?
The light overlays are blended in screen mode, which can only brighten, the way real light spilling onto film does. Dust, faded film and texture change the picture directly instead, which is why they can also darken it.
Are my images uploaded anywhere?
No. Light Leak & Overlays runs entirely inside your browser using the Canvas API. The file is read from your device, processed on your device, and the result is handed straight back to you. It never travels to a server, so there is nothing for us to store, log or leak.
Is it free, and is there a limit?
It is free with no account and no watermark. Because the work happens on your own hardware there is no per-image cost to us, so there is no quota. The only real limit is your device's memory: images beyond roughly 40 megapixels are refused rather than crashing the tab.
