ENPTES

Invert image colors without uploading

Drop images and download a negative of each one. Every color flips to its opposite. Size and transparency stay, except when you save JPG.

Your file never leaves your device. Processed locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Location and camera metadata (EXIF) are removed from the result.

Each color flips to its opposite. Width and height stay the same. Transparent pixels turn white only if you save JPG.

How to invert colors

1. Drop one or more JPG, PNG or WebP files. 2. Leave the format on “Same as original”, or pick PNG to keep a clear background. 3. Press “Invert colors” and download each file, or a ZIP if there are several.

Black becomes white, white becomes black, and a bright red becomes a dark cyan. Run the tool a second time on the download and you get the original colors back, aside from JPG compression.

What people use a negative for

A scanned stamp or a pencil sketch sometimes reads better when light and dark swap. A screenshot of light text on a dark app can be flipped before you print it. This is not grayscale: the hues stay, they just flip. It does not remove a watermark.

What the new file keeps

Width and height stay the same. Transparency stays in PNG and WebP. JPG fills clear pixels with white before the flip, so a logo on a clear background becomes a logo on black. Camera location is not copied. HEIC needs a JPG conversion first.

How to tell a useful negative from a mess

1. Invert once and look at the darkest area and the lightest area. 2. If you needed black and white, use Grayscale instead. 3. Invert the download again when you want the original colors back.

PNG and WebP round-trip cleanly. JPG does not, because each save loses a little. A clear background saved as JPG becomes black after the flip.

Frequently asked questions

Can I undo the invert?

Drop the download and invert again. PNG and WebP come back to the same colors. JPG is close, not exact, because JPG is lossy.

Will text in the picture stay readable?

Light text becomes dark and dark text becomes light. If the original was already hard to read, the negative will be too.

Can I invert a whole batch?

Yes. Drop several images up to the limit on the page and download a ZIP.

Is the image uploaded?

No. The pixels are rewritten in this tab.

Why did my logo land on a black box?

You saved JPG. JPG has no transparency, so the empty area was painted white and then flipped to black. Save PNG.

Does invert hide a face?

No. The face is still there, in opposite colors. Blur face is the page that covers an area.
