Everything you need to know about our color inversion tool
Color inversion is a digital image processing technique that transforms each pixel to its complementary color. Mathematically, it subtracts each RGB value from 255, creating a 'negative' of the original image. This process reverses light and dark areas and swaps colors for their opposites.
People invert image colors for various reasons: artistic effects, improving visibility of certain details, creating dark mode versions of light images, scientific analysis, reducing eye strain when viewing bright images, or preparing negatives for traditional photography processes.
Inverting all channels (RGB) creates a complete negative of the image. Inverting specific channels creates unique color effects. For example, inverting only the red channel will affect reds and cyans, while leaving greens, blues, yellows, and magentas with a different appearance than a full inversion.
No. This tool processes your image entirely within your browser. Your image is never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy and faster processing. This also means you can use the tool offline once the page has loaded.
Our tool supports all common image formats including PNG, JPEG, WebP, GIF, and BMP. You can also download your inverted image in PNG, JPEG, or WebP formats, regardless of the original format.
The Invert Amount slider controls the intensity of the inversion effect. At 100%, colors are fully inverted to their opposite. At 50%, colors are partially inverted, creating a more subtle effect. At 0%, the image remains unchanged.
No, our tool maintains the original resolution and quality of your image. The only quality change might come from saving in a different format (e.g., saving as JPEG instead of PNG may introduce some compression artifacts).
