Instant Flash

Give a photo a punchy direct-flash finish or try a softer studio-light treatment.

Upload a photo for the Disposable Direct Flash effect

For sepia, glitch, or cinematic grading, browse 100+ photo effects; to make the flash shot black and white like an old party photo, drop the color with an intensity slider.

A white instant-photo border completes the look when you add a Polaroid-style frame.
