Filter Archive

Filter Archive, at Filter Archive, is a plugin from Seso that adds 44 filters to Photoshop, Affinity and Figma. There are 35 photo effects such as halftone, risograph, CRT, VHS, thermal and ASCII, plus 9 background generators. Every setting stays editable, and there are 245 presets to start from.

Filters stack like layers. You can reorder them, switch any one off, change one three filters down, and the preview updates. A stack can be saved with a name and applied to the next image in one click.

In Photoshop you open Filter Archive from the Plugins menu, and Apply puts the result on a new layer so the original stays untouched. In Affinity it works on the layer you run it on, so Seso suggests duplicating the layer first. The Figma plugin installs from the Figma Community.

Newer filters include Rim Light, Shadow and Shadow Cast. Shadow lays a subject's own shadow on the floor, with a Wall setting that bends it up a wall, a floor reflection and a 3D shadow style. It runs in the Photoshop plugin only for now. Shadow Cast projects a pattern onto the subject like a cut-out in front of a lamp, with presets such as Blinds, Laser Line and Noir Window, and in Photoshop your own type or logo can be the cut-out.

Filter Archive needs Photoshop 2024 or newer or Affinity, on Mac and Windows. The filters render on your own computer, and the plugin checks in online once every 7 days.

Pricing: Filter Archive costs $59.99, paid once, for lifetime access to every filter in Photoshop, Affinity and Figma, with new filters free as they ship. A licence covers three computers for Photoshop and Affinity and another three for Figma. Teams of 3 or more get 10% off per seat, rising to 25% off for 20 or more.
