What is an image inverter?

Definition

An image inverter converts a picture into its color negative by mapping each pixel to its complementary color. In digital imaging, this is commonly called color inversion.

This produces a result analogous to a photographic negative — a concept widely documented in reference materials such as Wikipedia: Negative (photography) and the discussion of complementary colors.

Practically, inversion helps with contrast exploration, accessibility checks, and creative looks.

How the image inverter works

Introduction

The Image Inverter creates a color negative of your picture in one click — fast, accurate, and completely local.

It’s ideal for accessibility checks, contrast exploration, and creative looks — all without leaving your device.

How it works

We flip each color to its opposite to create a perfect negative.

Original color: (R, G, B)

Inverted color: (255 - R, 255 - G, 255 - B)

Use a color inverter to create surreal or striking effects on photos and explore alternative color palettes. A photo color inverter is also great for testing accessibility and making high-contrast displays to improve readability for users with visual impairments.

No. Image Bee flips pixel color values but keeps the original resolution, transparency, and metadata intact so your files stay crisp.

No compression is applied. Every download preserves the same file format and size unless you choose to compress it with another tool.
