GRAIN — add film grain to video online
Add film grain to your video, right in the browser
Grain is a free online film grain tool that puts authentic, signal-dependent grain onto your footage without ever uploading it. Drop in an MP4, MOV or WebM clip, choose a film stock, dial in the texture and export a new file — no account, no watermark and nothing leaves your device.
How to put grain on a video
- Drop a video into the editor, or click to browse. Your clip stays on your computer.
- Pick a film stock — 35mm Vision3, 16mm Tri-X, Super 8, 65mm 15-perf and more.
- Adjust grain intensity, softness and anamorphic edge blur until it feels right.
- Add an optional cinematic look such as Blockbuster, Bleach Bypass, Golden Hour or Moonlight.
- Export and download your grained video straight to your device.
Film grain presets for every look
Each preset reproduces the character of a real film format. 35mm stocks like Vision3 500T and 50D give a familiar cinematic texture, 16mm Tri-X brings coarse black-and-white silver grain, Super 8 is crisp and lively, and 65mm 15-perf stays large and restrained. Grain is signal-dependent, so the texture responds to the brightness of each frame instead of sitting flat over the image like a static overlay.
Frequently asked questions
How do I add grain to a video?

Is this film grain tool free?
Yes. Grain is completely free to use, with no account, no watermark, no upload and no hidden limits. The whole tool runs in your browser.
Are my videos uploaded to a server?
No. Every preview and export is processed locally on your device with WebGL, so your footage never leaves your computer. There is no upload path, cloud storage, analytics or cookies.
What video formats can I use?
Grain works with any video your browser can play, including MP4, M4V, MOV, WebM and OGV. Export is available in MP4 or WebM depending on your browser.
Can I add grain to a video on my phone?
Yes. Grain is a browser-based tool, so it works on modern phones and tablets as well as desktop computers. The interface adapts to smaller screens.
Does adding film grain reduce video quality?
Grain overlays texture on top of your original footage and does not downscale or re-compress your source before processing. Export quality depends on the resolution of your input clip and the encoder your browser provides.
Can I use the grained video commercially?
Yes. The film stocks and cinematic look LUTs are generated from original colour maths written for this project, with no third-party assets, so you are free to use the exported video however you like.
