Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between grayscale and pure black and white?
Grayscale keeps all the shades of gray, like a classic black-and-white photo. Pure black and white uses only black and white pixels, which suits scanned documents, signatures and stencils.
How do I get an old-photo look?
Choose Sepia. It gives the warm brown tone of early photographs; lower the strength for a subtler effect.
Can I convert many photos at once?
Yes. Choose several images and click “Download all (ZIP)”.
Is the original photo changed?
No. A new copy is saved, and nothing is uploaded.
