How do I invert colors in a photo?

Upload a photo and the colors flip right away: white turns black and blue turns yellow. Save the result with the "Download" button.

Can I turn a film negative into a normal photo?

Yes. For black and white film, inverting is enough. Color film has an orange base, so the photo turns bluish after inversion - fix it with the "Warmth" slider in the "Brightness and contrast" effect.

Will a transparent background be kept?

Yes. Transparent areas of a PNG stay transparent; only the colors change.

Are photos uploaded to a server?

No. Everything runs right in your browser: photos never leave your device, and no one but you will see them.

How many photos can I process at once?

Up to 50 photos at once. The settings apply to all of them, and you can download the results one by one or as a single ZIP.

Gap color

Width and gap are a percentage of the photo's short side. With rounded corners the corners become transparent, so the file is saved as PNG.

Where a negative comes in handy

Film scans

Photograph a negative with your phone on a bright screen and invert it: you get a positive that makes it easy to see which frames are worth printing.

Design and effects

Inversion gives unusual colors for covers, posters and stories. A black and white negative looks like an X-ray.

Diagrams on a dark background

You can invert a light diagram, drawing or text screenshot so it doesn't glare on a dark background.
