About this tool

What is an Invert Colors tool?

An Invert Colors tool reverses the red, green, and blue values in a picture. Light areas become dark, dark areas become light, and colors shift to their complementary opposites.

How color inversion works

The browser reads each pixel on the canvas and subtracts its color values from the maximum channel value. That mathematical reversal creates the negative effect in the exported image.

Invert Colors features for negative effects

• Creates an instant inverted copy of photos, drawings, and screenshots.

Benefits of inverting image colors

When to use Invert Colors
