Ultimate Guide: How Color Overlay Recoloring Works
A color overlay adds a transparent color layer on top of your image. Unlike full recoloring or hue shifting, this method keeps the image intact while applying a tint that changes the overall mood or style.
Overlay Color
Choose any color to apply as the visual filter. Great for brand colors or themed designs.
Opacity
Opacity determines how intense the overlay appears. Low opacity gives a subtle tint. High opacity creates a bold, stylized look.
Black and White Mode
Convert your image into a grayscale version with a single click. Useful when you want a clean, neutral base.
