Invert JPG Colors

Flip every color to its opposite for a photo-negative effect, in your browser

Invert the colors of a JPEG

Inverting swaps every color for its exact opposite: black becomes white, white becomes black, and each hue flips to its complement. The result is a photo-negative version of your image. It is the go-to trick for turning a scanned film negative into a positive, for creating striking artwork, or for producing a dark-on-light version of a diagram.

Drop one image or several and each is inverted instantly. Download a single JPG or the whole batch as a ZIP. Everything is processed in your browser without any upload.

What color inversion is good for

Turn film negatives positive

Scanning old film gives you a negative; inverting it produces a viewable positive image in one step.

Bold, surreal artwork

A negative palette creates eye-catching, otherworldly visuals for posters, edits and experiments.

Instant and private

Inversion is applied on your device, so your images are never uploaded.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does inverting colors actually do?

It replaces each color with its opposite on the color wheel, so light areas turn dark and every hue becomes its complement, producing a photographic negative.

Can I use this to convert film negatives?

Yes. Inverting a scanned negative flips it into a positive, though color negatives may also need white-balance tweaks for accurate tones.

Can I invert several images at once?

Yes. Add a batch of JPGs and download all the inverted versions together in a single ZIP.

Can I reverse the effect?

Yes. Inverting an already inverted image returns it to the original, since the operation is its own opposite.

Is my image uploaded?

No. Inversion runs entirely in your browser, so your files stay private.
