Use clean tape settings when the subject must stay readable. Use damaged tape, glitch and overlay settings when the VHS texture is the main visual hook. For YouTube thumbnails and social images, keep the subject clear and let scanlines and color bleed carry the retro signal.
Open the VHSFilter editor, upload your photo or clip, pick one of the 16 tape looks, then adjust the sliders. Photos export as PNG, and clips export as MP4 or WebM files recorded in real time in your browser.
