Inverting replaces every color with its opposite: black becomes white, blue becomes orange. Use it to create a negative effect, to read scanned film negatives, or to turn dark-mode screenshots into printer-friendly ones. Fine-tune brightness and contrast afterwards.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get the original back?
Yes — inverting twice returns the original colors. Your original file is never changed.
Is it free?
Yes. Browser tools on PhotoTools are free, unlimited and work without an account.
Are my images uploaded to a server?
No. This tool runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device, and nothing is stored.
