→Frequently asked questions
- How do I make a photo negative?
- Select an image and the filter instantly reverses its colors to create a photographic negative effect.
- What does a negative filter do?
- It replaces each color with its opposite, turning light areas dark and shifting colors to their complementary values.
- Is a negative filter the same as color invert?
- No. Negative Filter inverts display-encoded RGB values for a traditional photographic-negative look; Color Invert performs the inversion in linear RGB, producing a different result.
- What file formats can I export?
- You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
- Is this tool free to use?
- Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
