Your file never leaves your device. Processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Location and camera metadata (EXIF) are removed from the result.

The download is always a PNG, so the alpha is kept. JPG has no alpha and becomes partly see-through. Width and height stay the same. Camera location is not copied.

How to change image opacity

1. Drop a photo you already have. Audio and video are refused here. 2. Leave 50%, or pick 75% for a light fade or 25% when the photo should sit behind other art. 3. Press “Change opacity” and open the PNG. A checkerboard or a colored page behind it should show through.

GustKit draws the picture on a canvas in this tab and multiplies the alpha of every pixel. The download is always a PNG. A JPG has no alpha, so 50% turns a solid photo into a half-clear PNG. A PNG that was already partly clear gets even clearer. Camera location is not copied into the result.

Opacity is not a watermark and not a fade of a video

A watermark stamps words on top and leaves the photo itself solid. Adjust brightness moves the light of every pixel and keeps the file opaque. This page only changes how see-through the picture is. Fade video is for a short clip, not a still.

The photo stays in this tab

Nothing is sent to a server to be edited. Close the tab and the picture is gone. GustKit does not fetch a photo from a link.

How to check the transparency before you place the PNG

1. Open the PNG over a colored page or a checkerboard. The page should show through. 2. Compare it with the original at the same zoom. The width and height should match. 3. If 25% is too faint, run again at 50% or 75%.

JPG cannot keep alpha, so this page always saves PNG. A watermark stamps words and leaves the photo solid. Brightness does not make the picture see-through. Nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

Why is the download a PNG even when I dropped a JPG?

JPG cannot store transparency. PNG can. The size in pixels stays the same.

Will 50% make a logo that was already faint disappear?

It gets fainter. 50% multiplies the alpha that was already there. Use 75% if you only want a small step.

Can I change opacity and also crop in one step?

No. Crop first, or change the opacity first, then open the other page on the download.

Is the photo uploaded?

No. The canvas runs in this tab.

The download is a PNG and the photo looks lighter on white. Did it work?

Yes. 50% keeps half the alpha. On a white page the colors look washed. On a dark page they look dimmer.

Can I change opacity and also resize in one step?

No. Resize first, or change the opacity first, then open the other page on the download.
