Grayscale FAQ

What is luminosity mapping?
Instead of simply averaging colors, we use a weighted method (0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B) that better represents how the human eye perceives brightness, resulting in more natural-looking black and white photos.
Can I undo the grayscale?
Yes, simply move the intensity slider back to 0% to see your original color image. Our tool doesn't modify your original file unless you download the result.
Are my photos stored?
Never. We use the HTML5 Canvas API to process everything locally in your browser's memory. Your data is wiped as soon as you close the tab.
