Frequently asked questions

What does inverting do to black and white images?

Black becomes white and white becomes black, a quick way to turn a dark-text-on-white scan into light text on black.

Is the image quality affected?

No. Each pixel is mathematically flipped, so nothing is lost; invert twice to return to the original.

Do transparent areas stay transparent when inverted?

Yes, transparent pixels stay transparent when you save as PNG or WebP.
