About invert image (negative)

Inverting an image flips every colour to its opposite: black becomes white, red becomes cyan and so on. It is how film photographers read negatives, how some scanner workflows correct mis-scanned slides, and how designers make striking graphic effects. The whole operation happens locally in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Can I bring a scan back to normal?

Inverting twice restores the original. If a slide or negative was scanned inverted, run it through once and it comes out correct.

What is the colour result?

Every pixel becomes its exact complement, so the image keeps its structure but with inverted hues.
