What inverting does
Every colour is replaced by its opposite on the colour wheel: each red, green and blue value becomes 255 minus itself. Inverting twice gives you back the original exactly.
What people use it for
Viewing a scanned film negative as a positive, making white-on-black text or diagrams readable on paper, creating a dark version of a screenshot, or as an art effect.
FAQ
- How do I turn a film negative into a photo?
- Photograph or scan the negative, then invert it here. Colour negatives also have an orange tint, so the result may need a colour correction in a photo editor.
- Does inverting lose quality?
- No. The pixel size stays the same, and inverting is exact. A JPG is saved at high quality, so it may differ by a few levels from the original.
- Is my photo uploaded?
- No. The editing happens in your browser, so the photo never leaves your device and nothing is stored.
- Which files can I use?
- JPG, PNG, WebP and any other image your browser can open. You get a JPG back, or a PNG if you started with a PNG, so transparency is kept.
