Deep fry an image extra crispy
Saturation through the roof, contrast in the red, grain, crunchy JPEG blocks and a sprinkle of emoji. Add a picture and turn the heat up. It all happens in your browser.

What each part of the fryer does
- Saturation and contrast push colours past what a camera would ever record; 200 to 300 percent is where frying starts.
- Fryer orange lifts red and pulls out blue, giving the scorched, over-oiled cast of a meme that has been passed around too often.
- Sharpen exaggerates every edge into a hard halo, and grain adds coloured speckle.
- JPEG crunch saves the picture as a low-quality JPEG again and again with your browser's own encoder. JPEG stores pictures in 8 × 8 pixel blocks and throws detail away on every save, so the blocks and smears pile up just like a meme re-saved a hundred times.
Getting a good fry
Start with a preset, then nudge single sliders: too much contrast turns faces into flat orange shapes, while a little restraint keeps the joke readable. Shuffle moves the emoji and changes the grain pattern. Leave Fry the emoji too switched on for the authentic look, or off for crisp emoji over a fried picture.
Questions
Why is the fried picture smaller than mine?
The fryer works at up to 1,400 px on the longer side, which keeps the sliders quick. Deep-fried memes are meant to look low-resolution anyway.
Why do the emoji look different on another phone?
Emoji are drawn with your device's own emoji font, so Apple, Windows and Android each have their own style. The saved image keeps them exactly as they look on your screen.
Is my picture uploaded for processing?
No. Every filter and every JPEG pass runs in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
