Invert image colors online
Flip every color of a picture to its opposite and see the result before you save it. It all runs in your browser.
- True color inversion. Every color is flipped to its opposite: white becomes black, red becomes cyan, and so on. Doing it twice gives you back the exact original.
- Compare at a glance. Press Show original to switch between the inverted and the original picture without losing your place.
- Transparency stays. Only the colors change. Transparent and semi-transparent areas in PNG and WebP stay exactly as they were.
- Keep or change the format. Save as the same format, or switch to JPEG, WebP or PNG. For JPEG and WebP you set the quality.
- Up to 50 images at once. Add a batch, check each one, and download them one by one or all together as one ZIP. Your images are never uploaded.
- Paste and share. Paste a screenshot with Ctrl or Cmd + V, and use Share to send the result straight from your phone.

Invert image questions
How do I invert the colors of an image?
Add your picture and the preview shows it inverted straight away. Choose Download to save it. Everything happens in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
What does inverting an image do?
Each color channel (red, green and blue) is flipped to 255 minus its value, so every color becomes its opposite. Black turns white, white turns black, and a blue sky turns orange.
Does it keep a transparent background?
Yes. Only the colors are changed, never the transparency. Save as PNG or WebP to keep it. JPEG has no transparency, so it fills those areas with white.
Can I undo it?
Yes. Inverting an already inverted picture gives back the original colors exactly. You can also press Show original to compare.
Will it lower the quality?
PNG keeps every pixel. JPEG and WebP are saved again, so keep the quality high, around 92 or more, or save as PNG for no loss at all.
Can I invert many images at once?
Yes. Add up to 50 images and download them all as one ZIP with the same settings.
Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser on your own device. Your images are never sent to a server.
