Online color grading for RAW photos and still frames

Kalar.io is an online color grading tool for RAW photos and still frames. It gives photographers and color-focused teams a browser workspace for shaping tone, palette, contrast, grain, halation, bloom, and reusable looks without a desktop install.

Color grading before export

Kalar is designed for the look-development stage: exposure normalization, tone and contrast shaping, palette control, reference comparison, and final look packaging for delivery or LUT export.

Film-inspired controls

Use curves, hue and density tools, shadow and highlight control, grain, halation, bloom, and diffusion to create a cinematic grade that stays editable while you work.

Runs locally in the browser

Imported image pixels stay in the browser runtime while the application uses local GPU acceleration for responsive previews. That makes Kalar especially attractive when you want immediate access without a desktop install.

Best fit

Kalar is strongest for color-first RAW and still-photo work. If you need broad layer design, catalog management, or cloud collaboration as the center of the job, pair it with another tool instead of forcing it into the wrong role.
