How do I invert the colors of an image?

Drop your image onto the upload zone (or click to browse, or paste with Ctrl+V / Cmd+V); the colour negative appears instantly. Press Export, choose JPEG, PNG, or WebP, and download. It is completely free and runs entirely in your browser via the Canvas API, so your image is never uploaded.

Are images uploaded to a server?

No. All processing runs entirely in your browser; images never leave your device. This is the core design principle of the tool.

Is inverting image colors (creating a negative) free?

Yes — flipping every pixel to its colour opposite to create a photo negative is completely free, forever. No account, no sign-up, and no limit on how many images you invert. The colour inversion runs in your browser using the Canvas API; your images are never sent to any server. The site is ad-supported.

Does it work offline?

Yes. The tool uses the Canvas API and needs no server connection. Disconnect after loading the page and it still works.

What image formats are supported?

Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF (browser-decoded). Output: JPEG, PNG, WebP.

Is inverting reversible?

Yes. Inversion is exact (255 − value per channel), so applying it a second time returns the original image with no quality loss from the operation itself.

How is this different from the Filters tool?

This is a dedicated one-click invert page. The Filters tool bundles invert with grayscale, sepia, duotone, and adjustment sliders if you want to stack effects.

Create a colour negative of any image directly in your browser — free, no upload required.

100% Free — Forever. No fees, ever.
Private: files are processed locally in your browser and never sent to a server.
No upload, no account, no sign-up.

Colour inversion computes 255 − value independently for the red, green, and blue channels, leaving the alpha (transparency) channel untouched.
Inversion is its own inverse: applying it twice reproduces the original pixel values exactly, so the operation loses no information.
A digital negative mimics film negatives, where light and dark — and each colour and its complement — are swapped.
The Canvas API used here is specified by the W3C HTML Living Standard and supported in all modern browsers.
Because the image is processed locally, nothing is uploaded, so even sensitive scans stay on your device.
