If you work as a web designer you probably had to use duotone images in your designs. Duotone graphics only use two colors.  One of the most common uses of duotone images is for colorful backgrounds. Another common usage of duotones graphics is on homepage sliders where it’s important to create a contrast between background and text.

How To Create Duotone Images Online

If you looking to quickly create duotone images, there is a great tool created by ShapeFactory. It’s super easy and simple to use. The only thing you need to do is upload your image and select two colors you want. Once you preview and are satisfied with your final result you can download the image in PNG format. (Note: Don’t forget to optimize it before using it on your website, PNG files tend to have large file size).
