Examples

1. Brand Color Adaptation

Graphic Designer
Background
A designer has a set of blue icons that need to match a client's new green-themed brand identity.
Problem
Manually recoloring each icon in professional software is time-consuming.
How to Use
Upload the icon set and apply a specific hue shift value to align the blue tones with the brand's green palette.
Example Config
Hue Shift: 60, Output Format: PNG
Outcome
The icons are instantly converted to the correct brand color while maintaining their original transparency and detail.

2. Artistic Photo Styling

Social Media Manager
Background

How to Use
Upload the photos and use the hue slider to shift the colors toward a warmer, more dramatic purple and orange spectrum.
Example Config
