About this tool

Practical uses for color inversion

  • Dark mode: Screenshots of documents, spreadsheets, and white webpages are easier to read at night and work well in dark-background presentations.
  • Film negatives: Digitize old negatives photographed with your phone.
  • Artistic effects: Inverting just one channel (red, green, or blue) creates surreal colors for covers and posters.

Transparent areas in PNG files stay transparent; only visible colors change. Applying the same inversion twice restores the exact original image. For grayscale and sepia, use the black and white photo tool.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a negative and inverting only light and dark?

A negative swaps each color for its opposite: blue becomes orange, and green becomes pink. Inverting only brightness turns a white background black and black text white, while a blue link stays blue and a red chart stays red—just what you want for a dark mode screenshot or document.

Can you see what a photo looked like from a film negative?

Photograph the negative against a white light source and apply a full color inversion. Color negatives have an orange mask, so adjust the brightness and contrast afterward to balance the colors.
