Frequently Asked Questions
What is a grayscale image?
A grayscale image uses shades from black to white instead of displaying the full range of colors.
How do I convert a photo to grayscale?
Choose an image, select Convert to Grayscale, preview the result, and download the converted file.
Does grayscale mean pure black and white?
Not exactly. Grayscale images contain many shades of gray, while a strictly black-and-white image uses only two tones.
Which formats can I use?
The tool accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP images supported by your browser. You can download the result as PNG or JPG.
Will the original image change?
No. The tool creates a separate converted copy. Your original file remains unchanged on your device.
Is my image uploaded to a server?
The conversion is performed locally in your browser. The tool does not intentionally upload your image to our server.
