What is the Free Image Color Inverter?

The free Image Color Inverter creates a colour-negative version of any image by inverting all pixel values — turning dark areas light and light areas dark. Drop or select your image and the tool immediately renders a side-by-side Original vs Inverted preview. The inversion is applied to all RGB channels (each pixel value subtracted from 255), producing a classic photographic negative effect.
