What Is an Inverted / Negative Image?
Inverting an image replaces each pixel's color with its complementary value: white becomes black, red becomes cyan, and so on. The result looks like a film negative. It's used in photography, graphic design, accessibility testing, and creative effects. All processing happens in your browser — no upload required.

FAQ
How is color inversion calculated?
Each channel (R, G, B) is subtracted from 255. For example, a pixel with RGB(200, 100, 50) becomes RGB(55, 155, 205). The alpha channel is left unchanged.
Does inverting twice restore the original?
Yes. Applying the inversion twice returns every pixel to its original value, making it a lossless and reversible operation.
Will the image quality change?
The pixel math is lossless. JPEG output involves re-encoding at 92% quality, which may introduce minimal compression artifacts. PNG output is fully lossless.
