Add noise to images or clean up grainy photos

Most noise editors give you a slider. VEED's AI image noise editor lets you describe the effect you want in plain language, and the AI applies it. Add film grain for a 35mm analog look, apply subtle Gaussian noise to make AI-generated images feel more organic, or remove grain and digital noise from underexposed shots. Specify the intensity and style in your prompt, generate, and download. No plugin or app download needed.

How to add or remove noise from a photo:

Step 1

Upload your image

Upload your photo to the AI image editor. Works great for portraits, product shots, and landscapes. You can also upscale a low-resolution image first for better results before editing.

Step 2

Describe the noise edit

Type a prompt for adding noise: ‘add film grain and subtle noise overlay, 35mm analog style, slightly desaturated.’ For removing noise: ‘remove grain and digital noise, restore clarity and sharpness.’ Include intensity details — subtle, heavy, fine.

Step 3

Download or take it further

Save your edited image, or take it further. Animate it with image-to-video AI, or drop it into our video editor to use the image as a video asset or background.

Add film grain for lo-fi, analog, and vintage aesthetics

Film grain adds warmth and texture that makes digital photos feel analog. Subtle Gaussian noise softens the over-processed look of AI-generated images and makes them look more realistic. Describe the aesthetic you have in mind: 35mm analog grain, lo-fi disposable camera texture, or light noise. Combine noise with color shifts and vignette styles for a complete vintage-style photo.

Remove noise and grain from photos with AI

Grainy photos happen — low-light shots, high-ISO camera settings, old scanned images, or screenshots upscaled from low resolution. This tool also works as a photo noise remover AI. It analyzes your image and cleans up grain while preserving detail. Describe what you want: remove grain and noise, restore natural clarity, or reduce digital noise and sharpen details. For damaged old photos with grain layered over other issues, the AI photo restoration tool handles grain, scratches, and fading too.

From noise edits to AI video creation

Content creators can apply a consistent film grain or noise style across a batch of images for a cohesive lo-fi feed aesthetic. And those images can be turned into videos for content. Once you have your edited image, bring it into VEED's video editor to use it as a background, overlay, or thumbnail. Animate it using image-to-video AI to add motion for social posts.
