Aerochrome Emulator IR Simulation Toy
Launch Emulator ⚡

Experience the Magic of Infrared Photography – Instantly.

Transform your standard photos into stunning simulated full-spectrum aesthetics. From the iconic crimson foliage of Kodak Aerochrome to stark 720nm and deeply dramatic 850nm monochrome, emulate the invisible spectrum without modifying your camera.

Why Simulate Infrared?

True infrared photography requires specialised camera conversions and physical filters. This emulator provides a fast, accessible playground to experiment with the aesthetics of false-colour channel swapping, hue shifts, and tonal contrast. While it doesn't replace the physical capture of invisible light, it acts as a creative sandbox. Test out how a scene might look in IR, generate visually arresting images for your digital art, and use the mechanics of HSL colour isolation along the way.

The Simulation Engine

Built on precision color science, selective HSL layer-mask blending, and non-linear optical equations.

Kodak Aerochrome

Remap green foliage into vibrant, glowing pinks and reds, faithfully replicating the look of the legendary false-colour reconnaissance film.

590nm Super Colour

Generate dramatic gold and orange foliage set against rich blue skies, mimicking the classic mid-spectrum infrared filter.

720nm Standard IR

Strip away visible colour to deliver creamy white foliage, ghostly skin tones, and stark, moody contrast.

850nm High-Contrast Monochrome

Push the dramatic effect even further. This preset applies a custom channel mix to crush the shadows and push highlights to pure white, delivering the deep, punchy contrast of extreme near-infrared.

Analogue Touches

Dial in procedural film grain and highlight halation (bloom) to replicate the ethereal glow of vintage lenses and classic film stock.

Fast, Local, and Private

This tool is built for speed and security. All complex image processing – including high-resolution Canvas rendering and alpha-blending – happens strictly locally on your device via a Web Worker. Your photographs are never uploaded to a remote server, ensuring absolute privacy and zero latency.
