How to get the best results from grain filter photo tools?

To get the most natural-looking results when you add grain to a photo online, follow these suggestions:

  • Use a high-resolution, clear photo.
  • Adding a grainy texture to a blurry or low-quality image might not deliver the best results.
  • Grain filters often look best on images that already have good contrast.
  • Avoid heavily compressed files, as they might become blurry after processing.
  • Pictures with neutral or slightly darker backgrounds are more likely to make the grainy texture appear natural.
