Image Color Inverter - Invert Colors in Images Online

Invert Image Colors Instantly

The Image Color Inverter is a powerful online tool that allows you to invert the colors of any image, creating a negative effect similar to film negatives. This tool is perfect for creating artistic effects, analyzing image composition, or simply experimenting with visual transformations.

How Color Inversion Works

Color inversion works by subtracting each RGB color value from 255. For example:

Red (255, 0, 0) becomes Cyan (0, 255, 255)
Green (0, 255, 0) becomes Magenta (255, 0, 255)
Blue (0, 0, 255) becomes Yellow (255, 255, 0)
White (255, 255, 255) becomes Black (0, 0, 0)
Black (0, 0, 0) becomes White (255, 255, 255)

Technical Details

The color inversion algorithm processes each pixel individually, inverting the red, green, and blue channels while preserving the alpha (transparency) channel. This ensures that transparent areas remain transparent in the inverted image.

Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?

The tool supports all common image formats including JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, and TIFF. The output is always in PNG format to preserve quality and transparency.

Is my image data secure and private?

Yes, absolutely! All image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to any server, ensuring complete privacy and security.

Can I invert colors of transparent images?

Yes, the tool preserves the alpha channel (transparency) of images. Only the RGB color values are inverted, while transparency information remains unchanged.

What's the maximum image size I can process?

The tool can process images up to the limits of your browser's memory. Very large images (over 10MB) may take longer to process, but there's no strict size limit.

Can I use the inverted images commercially?

Yes, you can use the inverted images for any purpose, including commercial use. The tool simply processes your original image - you retain all rights to the content.
