What is Invert Colors?
Invert Colors flips every pixel in your image to its exact opposite, turning a photo into a color negative — light becomes dark, blue becomes orange, and white becomes black. Drop in a PNG, JPEG, or WebP and the inverted result appears instantly, ready to download as a lossless PNG. The whole conversion runs on a canvas in your browser, so your image is never uploaded.
How to use Invert Colors
Add your image
Drag a PNG, JPEG, or WebP onto the drop zone, or click to browse. It loads at full resolution and is decoded locally.
See the inverted preview
The tool reads every pixel and replaces each red, green, and blue value with 255 minus itself. The negative version appears in the preview immediately.
Check the result
Transparency is preserved — only the colors are inverted, so a PNG with a transparent background keeps it. Compare the file size shown before and after.
Download the PNG
