When to invert image colors
Use inversion when you want opposite colors across the whole image.
Monochrome icons
Turn a black transparent icon white for a dark slide or website. Check the result on black before adding it to your design.
Black-and-white line art
Swap dark lines and a light canvas for a light-on-dark version of a sketch, diagram, or scanned graphic.
Creative photo negatives
Give a photo an inverted palette for a poster, album cover, or experimental collage. Export the result to use in your editor.
Inspect pale artwork
Invert pale artwork and check it against a suitable preview background to inspect edges and shapes. Inversion changes colors; it does not recover missing detail.

Use PNG Color Changer to turn black into brand green, change only the red in a logo, or replace several selected colors while keeping the rest.
Frequently asked questions
How do I invert the colors of an image?
Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP. The tool inverts it automatically; compare the previews, then copy or download the PNG.
What are the upload limits?
Upload a PNG, JPG, or WebP up to 25 MB, with no more than 8,000 pixels per side and 16 megapixels in total. Images exceeding these limits are rejected.
Will my PNG keep its transparency?
Yes. The original transparency, including soft edges and fully transparent areas, stays unchanged.
Can I undo the inversion?
Yes. Choose Original or Reset to restore the source pixels. Switching back to Inverted always uses the original image.
Does this work on color photos and JPG files?
Yes. Every visible color is inverted, not just black and white. JPG and WebP inputs also export as PNG.
How is inversion different from replacing a color?
Inversion flips all visible colors to their opposites. Use PNG Color Changer when you need to pick a specific replacement color.
Is the preview background included in the downloaded image?
No. The checkerboard, white, and black backgrounds are only for preview and are not added to the exported PNG.
Does this tool preserve animation?
No. Animated PNG and WebP inputs are exported as a single still PNG; animation is not preserved.
Is the image color inverter free and private?
Yes. No signup is needed, and your image is processed locally in your browser. If image copying is unavailable, use Download PNG.
