Filter Forge is versatile graphics software for Windows and Mac with over 14000 artistic photo effects, realistic textures, and animated filters – and a visual editor to create your own filters. Photographers, game developers, and digital artists enjoy our free filter library. Filter Forge works as a standalone program and a plugin for Adobe Photoshop, Affinity Photo and other graphic editors.

Our ever-growing Filter Library offers 6748 photo effects, all free to download. Apply an effect to any image, tweak its settings, browse through 30,000 randomized variations, save your favorite presets. Cartoon and watercolor effects, frames, distortions, or glitches – it'll take just a few clicks to create an effect that would require hours in other software.

Except for the effects there are 7309 texture filters in the Library. Many of the textures are seamlessly tiled, and all of them are procedural – you can render them in any resolution, up to 65000 x 65000 pixels! Roof tiles and parquet, brushed metal and bricks, stone and tartan – all these textures come with thousands of variations, so you are sure to find the one that suits your 3D visualization or a game project.

And the sweetest part -- Filter Forge lets you create your own filters in a node-based Filter Editor. No coding required – filters are built from components that represent familiar image operations such as Blur, Levels, Invert, Gradient, or Perlin Noise. You can open library filters in Filter Editor to examine and tailor them for your needs. Your filters will automatically support seamless tiling, random variations, and PBR texture maps.
