Inverting colors changes each pixel to its opposite value on the color spectrum, creating a complementary negative of the original image.
How Color Inversion Works
When you invert the colors of an image, each pixel's color values are subtracted from the maximum possible value:
- RGB transformation - For each RGB value, the new value becomes (255 - original value), creating opposite colors.
- Lightness inversion - Dark areas become light, and light areas become dark.
- Contrast preservation - The contrast ratio between elements stays the same, maintaining visual relationships.
- Tone reversal - Colors shift to their complement on the color wheel (red becomes cyan, green becomes magenta, etc.).
Our tool preserves the image quality while applying the color inversion, ensuring the output is as clear and detailed as the original image. The process is non-destructive, meaning your original image remains unchanged.
