About this preset
Cinematic Photo Filter, explained.
Does this add black bars or crop the image?
No. Cinematic refers to the color grade. The photo keeps its original framing and supported dimensions.
What creates the cinematic look?
The recipe combines deeper contrast, slightly muted saturation, cool shadow tones, warm highlights and a subtle vignette.
Will every image look like a movie still?
Results depend on the source lighting and composition. A preset provides a color mood, not new lighting or scene content.
Are my photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Image decoding, presets, preview and export run in your browser. Your selected photos are not sent to a server.
Is Stillroom free to use?
Yes. All eight presets, adjustments and downloads are free. No account or paid API is required.
