Black and White Image Converter

Free black and white image converter: turn a photo into grayscale or pure black and white in your browser, with no upload, and download it in the same format.

The image is read by your browser and never sent anywhere. Nothing is uploaded and nothing is stored.

Also: Invert Image Colors · Rotate and Flip Image · Circle Crop Image · Add Border to Image · Remove EXIF and Location from Photos

What it does


Everything happens in your browser: the image is opened, changed on a canvas and saved again on your device, and nothing is uploaded. Photos from phones that are stored sideways with an orientation tag are turned the right way first, so what you see is what you get.

How to use it


  1. Choose an image from your device, or drag it onto the page.
  2. Adjust the options and check the result in the preview.
  3. Download the new image; the original file is not changed.

Frequently asked questions


Is my image uploaded anywhere?
No. The image is processed by your browser on your own device and never leaves it, which also makes the tool work offline once the page has loaded.
