Why it works

Create a color negative in one controlled step

Color inversion maps every red, green, and blue value to its opposite. At full strength it creates a photographic negative; at lower strength it blends the original with its inverse for muted and unusual palettes.

The preview updates locally as you move the slider. You can use it to inspect contrast, create stylized graphics, reverse black-and-white artwork, or prepare a negative image for print and craft workflows.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

What does inverting image colors do?

It replaces every RGB color value with its opposite, turning light areas dark and each hue into its complementary value.

Can I invert a black-and-white image?

Yes. Black becomes white, white becomes black, and gray values are reversed.

Can I apply only part of the effect?

Yes. The strength slider blends the original and inverted color values.

Will image quality change?

The pixel dimensions stay the same. Choose PNG for lossless output or adjust JPG/WebP quality for a smaller file.
