Video & GIF

Add film grain to a video.

Give a short clip a less clinical, more tactile finish with animated grain, tint, faded blacks and vignette — all rendered locally in the browser.

Colour & finish

Tip: compressed phone video already contains texture. Heavy grain can turn blocky after social upload, so a smaller amount usually feels more cinematic than a very strong overlay.

Private by design: rendering happens locally. Video export uses WebM because browser re-encoding support varies.

Subtle usually looks more cinematic

Phone video is already compressed, so very heavy grain can break into blocks after another social-media export. Fine, low-opacity texture tends to survive better and feels more like a finish than an effect.

Use colour and grain together

Grain alone changes texture. A small lift in the blacks, slight desaturation and a restrained warm or cool tint can make the result feel more coherent. The Moody indie preset is a starting point, not a fixed look.

Browser export limitations

This tool renders the processed frames in real time and exports WebM because browser video encoding support varies. Keep the tab open until export finishes and play the result once before posting or converting it elsewhere.

Useful to know

Do the job. Know what to check.

Short, practical guidance for this specific kind of task, without turning a tiny job into a tutorial marathon.

What this tool does

Add film grain to video

Add animated film grain, tint, faded blacks and vignette to a short video, then export locally as WebM.

The tool is designed to get that one job done without making you learn a full piece of software first.

Best results

Video grain needs even more restraint.

Play the exported clip on a normal phone-sized viewer. Compression can exaggerate coarse grain and make dark areas look noisy.

Use lighter grain for already-compressed phone footage. Keep this tab open until the WebM export completes.

In plain English

What matters most.

The tool renders animated grain and colour finishing frame by frame in your browser, so export takes roughly the duration of the clip.

For one-off jobs, a focused tool is usually faster than opening a full video editor.

File size & formats

Large videos need more patience.

What can I use?

Choose a video format your browser can open. Browser-based video exports use WebM where the tool needs to re-encode a clip.

Is there a size limit?

There is no extra OutMonkey file-size cap in these browser tools. Your device memory and browser are the practical limit, so very large or long videos can be slow or fail.

If the file is huge

Shorter clips and ordinary phone-sized videos are the safest fit. Keep this tab open while a video is processing.
