Add a glitter effect to any photo, online
Sometimes a photo just needs a little extra sparkle: a birthday post, a party invitation, a profile picture, a holiday card. This glitter effect tool scatters fine glitter dust and bright star-shaped glints across your image, so it looks like it caught the light.
There is nothing to install and no account to make. You can try the glitter effect online, tweak it until it feels right, and save the result in a few seconds.
How to use the glitter effect generator
- Add your photo. Tap Upload photo or drop an image onto the preview.
- Pick a glitter style. Gold, silver, rose, rainbow, and ice each change the color of the sparkles.
- Adjust the sliders. Amount controls how much glitter there is, Size sets how big each speck is, and Shine decides how strong the star-shaped glints look.
- Shuffle if you want a new pattern. Each shuffle places the sparkles differently, so you can keep going until you find one you like.
- Download your image. The PNG keeps your photo at its original resolution, up to a sensible size limit.
Tips for better-looking glitter
Darker photos make glitter pop
Sparkles show up best against shadows and mid-tones. On a very bright photo, lower the amount a little and raise the shine so the glints still stand out.
Match the color to the mood
Gold feels warm and festive, silver and ice feel cool and clean, and rose or rainbow work well for playful, colorful shots.
Less is often more
A light dusting usually looks more like real glitter than a heavy coat. Start low and add more only if you need it.
