How to invert image colors online

Drag your picture into the box above, click to browse your files, or paste it straight from the clipboard with Ctrl+V.
Choose how you want to invert the image: all colors at once, single RGB channels, or an inverted grayscale version. The result appears instantly.
Compare before and after with the slider, then press Download Image to save the result at full resolution — no watermark, no signup.

When should you invert an image?

The classic job is film. When you scan an old photographic negative, it looks dark and orange — invert image colors and the photo jumps back to positive, ready to fix up.

Designers invert image colors on purpose too: a full color negative makes posters, glitch art and thumbnails pop, and it takes one click here instead of a Photoshop detour.

It is also easier on your eyes at night. Invert a bright screenshot or a white PDF page and you get a dark version that does not glare at you in a dim room.

Three invert modes, one click apart

Invert All — the classic photo negative. Every color flips to its opposite.
Invert RGB — selectively flip only the red, green or blue channel. Perfect for scanned negatives with a color cast.
Invert Grayscale — a black-and-white negative, great for a stylized retro look.

However you invert image colors, the original resolution is always kept, and transparency in PNG files is preserved.

Invert an image on iPhone or Android

You do not need an app. Open negato.ai in Safari or Chrome on your phone, tap the upload box and pick a photo from your library. The inverted preview appears right away — tap Download Image and it lands in your camera roll. The same page works on iPad and desktop.

Want to flip or mirror instead?

If what you actually need is to mirror invert image — that is, invert image horizontally so the left and right sides swap, like looking in a mirror — that is a flip rather than a color change. Use our free flip image tool for horizontal and vertical flips plus 90° and 180° rotation. To repaint specific colors instead of flipping all of them, try Edit PNG Colors.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image inverter really free?

Yes — Negato is 100% free with no watermark, no signup and no daily limit. Invert as many images as you like.

Are my images uploaded to a server?

No. The whole tool runs in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your image never leaves your device — once the page is loaded you can even go offline and keep inverting.

What is the difference between Invert All, Invert RGB and Invert Grayscale?

Invert All flips every pixel to its opposite color, like a photo negative. Invert RGB lets you flip only the red, green or blue channel — handy for fixing scanned negatives with a color cast. Invert Grayscale converts the picture to black and white and then inverts it.

How do I invert image colors on iPhone or Android?

Open negato.ai in Safari or Chrome, tap the upload box and choose a photo from your library. Adjust the invert mode if you like, then tap Download Image — no app install needed.
