What is the ToolDeck video filter tool?
ToolDeck Video Filters is a free, browser-based tool that allows you to color-grade your videos without installing software like Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve. It runs on the multi-track editor, meaning you can apply a filter to one clip, a whole track, or an entire project.
Because it uses WebCodecs, the rendering happens locally on your device. You can experiment with different looks, apply green screen effects, and export the final MP4 at up to 4K resolution, entirely for free.
Why add filters to your video?
Fix Bad Lighting
If you shot a video indoors and it looks too dark or yellow, use the Brightness and Hue sliders to make it look natural.
Create a Cinematic Look
Apply the "Cinematic" preset to add contrast, reduce saturation, and add a vignette. Instantly makes phone footage look like a movie.
Match the Mood
Use the "Warm" filter for a cozy vlog, or the "Cool" filter for a tech review. The right filter changes how the audience feels.
Fix Underwater or Green Footage
Shot on a GoPro or underwater camera? Use the Hue and Saturation sliders to fix the color balance.

What you get with this filter tool

Pro-Level Color Sliders
Take full control. Adjust Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, Hue, Blur, and Vignette separately for the perfect look.
Green Screen (Chroma Key)
Remove a green background from your clip and put it on top of a video on the Overlay track. Perfect for memes and reviews.
Blurred Background
Make a portrait video fit a 16:9 frame by filling the empty space with a blurred, darkened version of the video itself.
Real-Time Preview
See exactly how the filter looks on your video before you export. No waiting for the render to finish to see the result.
Private by design
No upload step. Your footage, whether it is a client project or personal vlog, never leaves your device.
What this tool does well, and where it is limited
| Task | Result | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Applying basic presets | Works perfectly | Click any of the 12 presets in the Style tab for a one-click color grade. |
| Adjusting brightness/contrast | Works well | Use the sliders to manually tweak the look of your video. |
| Importing custom .cube LUTs | Not supported | ToolDeck uses built-in presets and sliders. You cannot upload custom LUT files (like you can in Premiere Pro). |
| Fixing extreme overexposure | Limited | If a video is completely blown out (pure white), sliders cannot recover lost detail. Shoot properly in the first place. |
| Applying a filter to only half the clip | Manual split needed | Filters apply to the whole clip. If you want half normal and half filtered, split the clip in two and apply the filter to the second half. |
Tips for better color grading
Do not over-saturate
It is tempting to push the Saturation slider to 200%, but it makes skin tones look orange and fake. Keep it between 100% and 120% for natural results.
Use the Vignette for focus
A subtle vignette (around 20-30%) darkens the edges and draws the viewer's eye to the center of the frame.
Match filters across clips
If you have multiple video clips, apply the same preset to all of them so the color does not jump between scenes.
Use the blurred background
If you have vertical video that you need to fit into a horizontal 16:9 YouTube video, turn on "Blur bg" in the Edit tab so it looks professional.
Video Filters FAQ
Applying Filters
How do I add a filter to a video online?
Drop your video into the editor above. Click the video clip on the timeline, then open the "Style" tab on the right. You will see a grid of presets (Cinematic, Vintage, Noir, etc.). Click one to apply it instantly, or use the sliders below to adjust the look manually.
Can I adjust the intensity of a filter?
Yes. Instead of a simple "intensity" slider, you have full control over the underlying settings. After clicking a preset, use the Brightness, Contrast, and Saturation sliders to fine-tune the strength of the effect.
What is the Green Screen (Chroma Key) feature?
It removes a specific color (like bright green) from your clip, making it transparent. You can then place this clip on the Overlay track above another video to create a composite shot.
Why is my video blurry after adding a filter?
Check the "Blur" slider in the Style tab. Make sure it is set to 0 unless you intentionally want a blurred effect. Also, ensure your export resolution matches the original video quality.
Formats and Quality
Do filters reduce video quality?
No. The filter is applied during the export process. As long as you export at a high resolution (1080p or 4K), the video will look sharp.
Can I use custom LUTs?
Currently, ToolDeck does not support uploading custom .cube LUT files. We provide 12+ built-in presets and manual color sliders to achieve the same result.
Can I apply a filter to an image?
Yes. You can import a photo (JPG/PNG), place it on the timeline, and apply the same filters and sliders to it as you would a video.
Privacy
Is my video uploaded to a server?
No. The entire color grading process happens locally in your browser using WebCodecs. Your video never leaves your computer.
Can I use this offline?
Yes. After the page loads, the editor works offline. You can turn off your Wi-Fi and still apply filters and render the MP4.
Your video never leaves your device
There is no upload step and no account. The filters, color grading, and final MP4 rendering are processed entirely in your browser using WebCodecs and WebAssembly. You can verify this by checking your browser's Network tab.
