How to invert the colours of an image
- Add your image. Drag it in, click to choose or paste a screenshot.
- Fine-tune. Adjust brightness, contrast and saturation if you like. Switch to B&W for a greyscale negative.
- Download. Save the inverted image as a high-quality JPG or a lossless PNG.
What does inverting colours do?
Each colour is replaced by its opposite on the colour wheel: red becomes cyan, green becomes magenta and blue becomes yellow, while light and dark swap places. It is the same as the “negative” effect in photo editors.
Trying to turn an actual colour film negative into a photo? Plain inversion leaves a strong blue cast because of the orange film base. Use our negative to photo converter instead. It removes the mask automatically.
Frequently asked questions
Is inverting an image reversible?
Yes. Inverting an inverted image gives you back the original.
Can I invert a PDF or screenshot?
You can invert any image, including screenshots. For a PDF page, take a screenshot or export it as an image first.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. Every image is processed inside your browser using WebAssembly. Nothing is sent over the internet, which also makes it fast and safe for private photos.
Is it really free? Are there limits?
Yes. It’s free with no sign-up, no watermark and no daily limit. Your own device does the work, so there is no server cost per image.
