About Invert Colors
Invert Colors flips every colour in an image to its opposite, turning the picture into a photo negative. Light areas become dark, dark areas become light, and each colour is swapped for its counterpart. It is handy for recreating the look of a film negative, reading faint scanned text, or simply seeing a familiar image in an unfamiliar way.
The tool runs entirely in your browser. Your image is inverted on your own device using the canvas built into the browser, so nothing is uploaded to a server and no copy is kept. It is free, needs no account, adds no watermark, and there is nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
- Is it free and is there an account?
- Yes, it is free and there is no account or sign-up. There are no usage limits, so you can invert as many images as you like.
- Is my image uploaded anywhere?
- No. The inversion happens in your browser on your own device, so the image never leaves your computer and nothing is stored on a server.
- How do I use it and which formats are supported?
- Open the tool, pick an image, and it inverts the colours for you. It works with common image files such as JPG, PNG, and WebP, and you can download the result.
- If I invert twice, do I get the original back?
- Yes. Inverting is symmetrical, so running the tool on an already-inverted image returns it to the original colours. Nothing is lost in the process.
- Can I invert only part of the image?
- No. The tool inverts the whole image at once and has no brush or selection, so every pixel is affected evenly. For a partial effect you would need an editor with selection tools.
