Frequently asked questions
How does inversion work?
Each color channel is replaced by 255 minus its value: R→255−R, G→255−G, B→255−B. Red (255,0,0) becomes cyan (0,255,255).
Is transparency preserved?
Yes: only colors are inverted, the alpha (transparency) channel stays intact.
Which formats are accepted?
JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF (first frame) and most browser-displayable images. The result is exported as PNG.
Is my image uploaded?
No. The inversion happens locally on a canvas; your file never leaves your device.
