→Frequently asked questions
- How do I give a photo an ocean or reef look?
- Select your photo and Reef Current applies a teal-to-coral split tone with a cool color push and a soft highlight glow.
- What does the Reef Current filter do?
- It cools the white balance, shifts color toward cyan-teal, tints shadows deep teal and highlights warm coral, and adds a gentle glow.
- Is Reef Current similar to Tropic Chrome or Riviera Pop?
- All three lean tropical, but Reef Current is built around a teal-and-coral split tone rather than Tropic Chrome's saturated slide-film contrast or Riviera Pop's bright coastal pastels.
- What file formats can I export?
- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
