What Is a Vignette Effect?

A vignette darkens the edges and corners of an image, drawing the viewer's eye toward the centre. It is a classic photographic technique used to add mood, focus, or a film-era aesthetic to photos.

ToolPop's vignette tool lets you control intensity and spread, so you can apply a subtle finishing touch or a strong dramatic frame.
