Invert the colours of an image in your browser — every colour becomes its opposite, turning a photo into a film-negative look and black into white. It is a one-click creative effect and a quick way to read scanned film negatives.
What inverting colours does
Inverting replaces every colour with its opposite — white becomes black, and each hue flips to its complement — producing a photographic-negative look. It is both a striking creative effect and its own reverse: invert an inverted image and you are back to the original.
Reading film negatives
A practical use is turning a scanned film negative into a positive, natural-looking image. It also flips a black-on-white diagram to white-on-black in one click. The effect is applied in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
