Invert image colors.
Turn a photo or graphic into a color negative. Invert HEIC and HEIF photos, PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, AVIF, JPEG XL, and browser-supported GIF, BMP and ICO images. Preview your inverted image, then download a PNG.
Your image stays on your device. No upload, account, or installation needed.
Choose an image to invert
Drop an image anywhere, or paste a copied image with Ctrl+V / ⌘V.
Ready when you are.
Up to 128 MB and 64 megapixels. Animated images use a single frame; HEIC uses the primary image and TIFF uses the first decodable page.
Your color negative
The output keeps the decoded image dimensions and transparency. It is a new PNG; original EXIF and other source metadata are not copied.
How to invert image colors
- Choose, drop, or paste an image.
- Wait for local decoding and automatic color inversion.
- Preview the negative and download your inverted PNG.
About color inversion
Each red, green, and blue channel is reversed: black becomes white, white becomes black, and other colors become their RGB opposites. Transparency stays unchanged. This creates a digital negative effect; it is not a calibrated film-negative restoration tool.
Frequently asked questions
Can I invert HEIC photos from an iPhone?
Yes. HEIC and HEIF files are decoded locally when your browser cannot open them directly. The primary image is inverted and exported as PNG. Unusual codecs or damaged files may not decode.
Which image formats are supported?
PNG, JPEG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF, TIFF, AVIF, and JPEG XL are supported, plus GIF, BMP, and ICO when the browser can decode them. Animated and multi-image files produce one still image. Camera RAW development and HDR preservation are not supported.
Does inversion change image quality or transparency?
The tool works on decoded 8-bit RGB pixels, keeps their dimensions and alpha channel, and saves a lossless PNG. Color profiles, HDR data, animation, and original metadata are not preserved. Fully transparent pixel colors may be normalized by the browser.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. Local images are decoded and inverted on your device. Additional image decoders are downloaded only when needed.
