How to use
Upload an image
Click the "Select Image" area and choose an image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, etc.) that you want to convert to monochrome.
Adjust contrast and brightness
Move the contrast slider (-100 to 100) to adjust the difference between light and dark areas. Move the brightness slider (-100 to 100) to make the image lighter or darker. The preview updates in real time.
Download the image
Click "Download Image" to save the monochrome result to your device.
Scope of the result
One image file at a time, up to 50 MiB, and only MIME types beginning with image/. The output keeps the format you loaded: JPEG in, JPEG out; anything else becomes PNG. There is one conversion — the NTSC weighted average — with no alternative luminance formula or single-channel option. Files are not uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
- Are my images uploaded to a server?
- No. All image processing happens entirely in your browser. Your images are never sent to any server, ensuring complete privacy.
- What image formats are supported?
- Any image format supported by your browser can be loaded, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, and SVG. The output is saved in the same format as the uploaded file.
- Does it work on mobile devices?
- Yes. The tool features a responsive design and works on smartphones and tablets through the browser.
- How does the monochrome conversion work?
- The tool converts images to grayscale using the NTSC weighted average method (0.299×R + 0.587×G + 0.114×B), then applies contrast and brightness adjustments to the grayscale values.
