Gradient Map Filter Generator

Map custom color gradients to the shadows, midtones, and highlights of your image. Create stunning Spotify-style duotones and pop-art aesthetics.

Create High-Impact Brand Imagery

Gradient mapping replaces the colors in your image based on their brightness. It maps the darkest shadows to Color A, and the brightest highlights to Color B. This is the exact technique used to create the famous dual-color artwork on Spotify playlists and corporate tech websites. You can now generate this effect instantly without Photoshop.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my image look like a flat blob?

Gradient maps work best on images with very strong contrast. If your original photo is flat and grey, the resulting map will lack definition. Try increasing the contrast first.

Can I use more than 2 colors?

Yes! You can add midtone colors to create complex tritone or thermal-camera aesthetics.
