How to use the negative filter
Choose the direction and area

Compare and download
Check the original, then download a PNG with no watermark, up to 1080 pixels wide within the daily free allowance.
Negative image converter: negative to positive
Switch to Negative to positive for scanned negatives or photos of film. Both directions reverse RGB colors: black becomes white, and each color becomes its opposite. Apply the filter twice without color correction to reverse the effect.
For color film, try Correct film color cast. This adjusts each inverted color channel independently. It is a starting point for faded or orange-tinted film, not a calibrated film restoration. Photograph film against even light and crop away the border first.
Photo negative maker for whole images or regions
Create a full-frame negative, or choose Selected region and drag a rectangle across the preview to mix normal and inverted colors. Left, Top, Width and Height provide the same selection with keyboard controls. Transparent areas keep their original alpha channel.
FAQ
How to get a negative filter on a photo?
Choose your photo in this editor, select Photo to negative and Whole image, then download the inverted photo.
How to put a negative effect on a picture?
Open a picture, choose Photo to negative, and apply it to the whole image or drag a rectangle to invert only a selected region.
How can I convert a negative photo to a positive one online?
Open a scan or photo of your negative, select Negative to positive, and enable color correction if the film has a color cast before downloading.
How to invert a photo online?
Open your photo here and use Whole image to invert its RGB colors directly in your browser without installing an app.
Will this restore the exact colors of old film?
A simple inversion reverses RGB values. Optional color correction stretches each channel to reduce a film color cast, but does not guarantee accurate original colors. Crop out film borders before opening the image and use an evenly lit scan for better results.
