Hue Changer

Change image hue by rotating the whole color wheel. Reds can move toward yellow or blue, blues can move toward aqua or purple, and the entire image changes together.

Hue adjustment is global. It is good for exploring colorways, graphics, backgrounds, posters, thumbnails, and stylized photos. It is not a precise object recolor, because every hue in the image moves at the same time.

Hue rotation

The Hue Rotation slider runs from 0deg to 360deg.

  • 0deg leaves the hue unchanged
  • 30deg to 60deg creates a noticeable shift
  • 180deg moves colors toward their opposite side of the wheel
  • 360deg returns to the same hue as 0deg

Small rotations are safer for natural photos. Large rotations work better for graphics, abstract images, and deliberate color effects.

Strength

Strength blends the hue-changed result over the original image.

  • 0% keeps the original
  • 30% to 60% keeps more of the source palette
  • 80% to 100% gives a strong hue shift

If the hue angle is right but the result looks too artificial, lower Strength before changing the angle.

Hue shift limits

Hue rotation does not know which object you meant to recolor. A shirt, wall, face, sky, and shadow can all shift together if their pixels have color. For a targeted edit, use HSL bands or a color replacer instead.

Near-gray pixels may also pick up color shifts if they contain small channel differences. Lower Strength when neutral areas start to look tinted.

Download behavior

Upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP file, preview the result, and download at the original dimensions. The filename includes the hue and strength values, such as image-hue-210-strength-65.png.

The hue math runs on canvas pixel data. Preview uses a capped size for responsiveness; download renders the full image.

Frequently Asked Questions

JPEG, PNG, and WebP. The download keeps the original format and file extension.

No.

It rotates every pixel's hue around the color wheel while keeping lightness and saturation closer to the original.

Strength blends the hue-shifted result with the original. `0%` is unchanged, `100%` is fully rotated, and values between them reduce the effect.

Hue rotation is global, so skin, shadows, background colors, and near-neutral pixels all shift together. Lower Strength or use a selective HSL editor for targeted color work.
