ONLINE IMAGE FADER

Make every fade feel just right

Four focused modes, one simple editor. The preview uses real transparency, and guides never appear in your exported file.

BUILT FOR TRANSPARENCY

Less editor.
More control where it matters.

ImageFader does not try to be a full photo editor. It makes opacity, gradients, feathering, and local fades fast and understandable.

Flexible gradients

From quick directions to any angle

Use linear or radial fades, reverse the direction, adjust the range, or drag the handles directly on the image.

Explore gradient transparency
Real alpha

Not a white overlay

Export PNG or WebP with genuine semi-transparent pixels that work over any background.

Privacy first

Your image stays in the browser

No account, upload, watermark, or server processing. Close the page and your image is gone.

Fine control

Soften even a local selection

Use a rectangle, ellipse, or brush. Add, restore, invert, and feather the selected area.

FAQ

A few useful details before you fade.

Open GitHub Issues
Does ImageFader upload my image?

No. Reading, editing, and exporting happen in your current browser. There is no image upload endpoint and no sign-in.

Why does the tool say opacity instead of transparency?

Opacity at 100% means fully visible, while 0% means fully transparent. This matches common design tools and CSS.

Should I export PNG or WebP?

Both preserve transparency. PNG is the safest choice; WebP usually produces a smaller file and offers a quality control.

Will export reduce my image dimensions?

No. The editor scales the on-screen preview, but exports at the original pixel dimensions.

Can I create local transparency on mobile?

Yes. The canvas supports touch selections and brush strokes, with a fixed mobile export bar for easier use.

Have an image ready?

Give it a softer edge.
