Invert image colors

What inverting colours does

Inverting replaces every colour with its opposite on the colour wheel by subtracting each channel from 255. White becomes black, black becomes white, a red turns cyan, a blue turns yellow. The result looks like a photographic negative.

It is a lossless operation — apply it twice and you get the original back exactly. That makes it safe to experiment with.

Common uses for an inverted image

Inverting is handy for turning a dark-on-light screenshot into a light-on-dark one for a dark-mode design, for reading scanned negatives, for making a black logo white so it works on a dark background, and for creative effects in posters and art.

If you want a black-and-white version rather than a negative, use the black-and-white tool; to refine an inverted result, the sliders below adjust brightness, contrast and saturation.

Private and instant

The inversion runs on a canvas in your browser, so there is no upload, no waiting and no limit. Drop several images at once to invert them all and download the set as a ZIP.

Export PNG to keep the result lossless, or JPG for a smaller file.

Batch & bulk: process multiple images at once

Load not just one image but as many as you like — by drag & drop or multiple-select. imagenimble processes them one after another, locally in your browser, and packages the results as a single ZIP download. No upload, no account and no fixed limit — only your device’s memory caps very large batches. It is the quick way to convert or edit a whole folder in one go.
