Questions about Black & White

What does the Black & White tool do?

Transform colorful photos into dramatic, high-contrast monochrome images.

What can I adjust in Black & White?

You can set monochrome preset, tonal contrast, exposure, analog film grain, split-tone tint and monochrome intensity. Every change previews live, so you can see the result before you download it.

What file do I get from Black & White?

A PNG file, downloaded straight to your device. Nothing is added to it: there is no watermark and no sign-up.

Is Black & White free to use?

Yes, and there is no account to create. You can use it as often as you like, on images up to 25MB.

Will the quality drop?

Only where you ask it to. The tool works from your original upload rather than a preview, so the file you download is made at full resolution.
