FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my image uploaded to a server to reverse the colors?

No. Image Studio operates entirely client-side. Your images are processed directly in your browser using your local device's hardware, meaning no data is ever uploaded or stored on our servers.

Can I invert only a specific part of my black and white image?

Yes! You can draw a rectangular or oval/circular selection over any part of your image. You can also choose to invert only the area inside the selection, or invert everything outside of it.

How do I adjust the inverted area precisely?

You can adjust the area interactively by dragging the corners and moving the center of the selector on the canvas. For surgical precision, you can manually enter the exact X/Y coordinates and width/height dimensions in pixels.

Is there a limit to how many images I can invert?

No, there are absolutely no rate limits, daily quotas, or premium paywalls. You can process as many high-resolution images as you need, completely free of charge.
