Modern Image Effects

Apply effects straight to a canvas layer. Previews render at full resolution, and the Stack tab lets you chain effects before committing anything.

How to use it

  1. Select an image layer on your Framer canvas. Works on canvas layers and in Framer’s image editor.
  2. Open the plugin from the canvas toolbar.
  3. Pick an effect. Every effect has its own parameter controls — adjust before committing.
  4. Open the Stack tab to add further effects, drag to reorder, or toggle individual effects on and off.
  5. Preview the composite result live, then hit Apply. The image updates in place.

Reverse an effect

The original layer is kept until you hit Apply, so previewing and switching effects is free. If you need to step back after applying, duplicate the layer first — there is no one-click undo yet.

Consistent grading across a project

Build a stack once (for example Duotone → Film Grain → Vignette) and apply that same combination to every image. Re-tuning each image individually is the slow path.

Why large photos are fine

Processing happens locally in your browser at full resolution, so a 20MB photo grades at the same speed as a 200KB one. Nothing is uploaded.

Key facts

  • 42 effects total. Free exposes 8 (Grayscale, Blur, Brightness, Contrast, Pixelate, Tint, Retro Dither, Invert) with unlimited applies; Pro unlocks all 42 plus the full Stack tab.
  • Light and retro families in Pro: Bloom, Halation, Light Leak, Gradient Map, Motion Blur, Radial Blur, Scanlines, VHS, CRT.
  • Pro is $9/year early bird until Dec 31, 2026, then $19/year — billed annually, cancel anytime, every future effect included.
  • Runs locally in the browser at full resolution. No uploads, no server calls.
  • Stack tab chains multiple effects, drag to reorder, toggle each on or off, live composite preview.
  • Applies to canvas layers and in Framer’s image editor.
  • No one-click undo after Apply — duplicate the layer first if you may want to revert.

Licence & billing

  • One licence key covers your Framer account across all of your projects — not a key per project, and no seat count. Subscribing to one plugin does not unlock the others.
  • Modern Image Effects is billed annually ($9/year). VideoEmbed and Ultra Image Optimizer are billed monthly ($9/month). Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled, and cancellation takes effect at the end of the paid period.
  • Image processing is local. Every codec compiles to WebAssembly and executes inside the Framer editor; there are no server calls and no image uploads. What does leave your machine: the WebAssembly codec binaries are fetched from our CDN on first open and then cached; VideoEmbed's third-party embed request goes to YouTube, Vimeo or your own media host; licence key validation requires a network request.

Changelog

  • 2026-10-03 Ten new effects — 32 becomes 42. Light effects, retro displays, motion blur, and Gradient Map join the catalog.
  • 2026-09-30 Marketplace listings rewritten to lead with what is actually unlimited, and what never leaves your machine.
  • 2026-04-09 First release. 32 effects applied directly to canvas layers, with a Stack tab for chaining.
