Duotone - Convert any photo to a duotone in seconds

by

Search thousands of images via Unsplash or drag and drop your own images into the browser to apply a duotone effect. Another one (DJ Khalid voice) from ShapeFactory - more coming soon.

It's great, but, how can I upload my own pictures? I would love to. It looks like an awesome tool :)

@maurosicard - you can actually just drag and drop your own images into the window.

Privacy Policy? or do you keep a copy of every photo? Also uploading to then download, an app would be better.

@androidlove No, we don't store or copy any of the photos you upload. The rest are being pulled in via Unsplash. And hopefully we'll get to a mobile app soon. In the meantime, try dragging and dropping from your desktop to upload! It's pretty slick. :)

@androidlove To put a slightly finer technical point on what @andrewdumont said, not only do we not keep a copy of the photo, the photos never even get uploaded to our server - the conversion happens entirely in your browser.

- Would be great to have color combo suggestions

- If we can also resize/crop and optimize the image... would be amazing to have but maybe an overkill :-)

I get great duotone images without having to open Photoshop. I popped the finished results into ImageOptim and I was good to go!

Pros:

Does a PS gradient map in seconds straight from your browser

Cons:

(small!! cons)

- Uploaded images are fit to fullscreen which prevents me from previewing some in full.

- Some image previews are rotated.

Hey Alex! If you hover over the little water drop icon it does give some color combo suggestions :), is this what you mean? Admittedly the fullscreen view is form over function, but when you download the image you do get the full size. Cropping and resizing is a bit out of scope for this app – the workflow we use most often with this is in tandem with other design software, and most of those let you resize and crop. Thanks for the feedback!

Very helpful for Designers to make background images quickly

Pros:

Simply awesome tool

Cons:

Usability is suffered due to excessive minimalism
