Create transparent fog overlay PNGs for photo editing and film compositing. Adjustable density, scale, and warp for natural-looking atmospheric fog. Free online generator.
Open Fog GeneratorCreate fog overlay PNGs with clean transparency that blend seamlessly into photographs and film footage. The fullscreen noise shader lets you sculpt everything from a thin low-lying ground mist to a dense enveloping wall of fog with precise control over density, scale, and warp. Export at up to 4K and layer the overlay into Photoshop, Lightroom, or any compositing pipeline without tedious masking or cleanup.
Fog effects export as PNG files with full transparency support. This format preserves the soft, semi-transparent nature of fog perfectly, allowing you to layer the effect over any background in your editing application without quality loss.
Yes. The Fog Generator includes color pickers for both the fog itself and the background color. You can create classic white fog, blue-tinted cold mist, warm golden haze, or any color you need to match your scene lighting.
The fog is generated using fractal noise. Scale controls the overall size of fog formations, Detail (octaves) adds finer layers of complexity, Turbulence controls how chaotic the pattern is, and Density determines overall thickness. The Warp controls distort the noise field to create flowing, natural-looking shapes.
You can export at 720p, 1080p, 1440p, or 4K (3840x2160). Higher resolutions reveal more fine detail in the noise patterns. For most compositing work, 1080p or higher is recommended to maintain quality when the overlay is scaled or repositioned.
Yes. Use the Depth control to concentrate fog in the lower portion of the frame for ground-hugging mist. Combine this with low turbulence and high softness for smooth, layered fog banks that look like morning mist settling in a valley.
The seed value initializes the noise function that generates the fog pattern. The same seed with the same parameters always produces an identical result across any device or browser session. This lets you bookmark settings, share them with collaborators, or return to a specific look later.
Absolutely. Export a transparent PNG fog overlay and layer it over your footage in After Effects, Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or Final Cut Pro. Use blend modes like Screen or Add for natural integration. For animated fog, generate multiple frames with different seeds and crossfade between them.
Unlike stock photos, FX Labs gives you full parametric control over every aspect of the fog. You can precisely adjust density, scale, turbulence, and color to match your exact needs rather than searching through stock libraries hoping to find a close match. Every render is unique and royalty-free.
