Frequently Asked Questions
What does inverting colors actually do?
Each color channel's value is subtracted from its maximum, turning white to black, black to white, and every color to its complementary opposite.
Can I invert only partially?
Yes. Lower the intensity slider below 100% to blend the inverted colors with the original image.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The entire conversion happens locally in your browser using the Canvas API. Your image never leaves your device.
What format is the output?
The result is downloaded as a PNG file, which preserves any transparency in the original image.
Does inverting affect transparency?
No. Only the red, green, and blue color channels are inverted - the alpha (transparency) channel is left unchanged.
