How the Grayscale / Filters works

This tool processes your pictures using the browser's built-in Canvas API and standard image codecs for JPG, PNG and WebP. Resizing, cropping, conversion and compression all happen on your own device, so the image data is never sent to a server. Compression balances file size against visual quality using established lossy and lossless techniques appropriate to each format.

Tips & best practices

Grayscale suits professional headshots and gives images a timeless, distraction-free feel.
Small brightness and contrast tweaks can rescue a flat photo without an editing suite.
Apply filters to a copy so you always keep the original.

Standards & accuracy

Uses the browser's native Canvas API and standard web image formats (JPG, PNG, WebP) — images are never uploaded.

For the best results, resize an image to the dimensions you actually display before compressing, and choose WebP for the web where a smaller file at the same quality is the priority.
