Frequently asked questions
Does converting to black and white reduce image quality?
No resolution is lost — every pixel remains, only the color information is removed. The 92% quality re-encode is visually indistinguishable.
Why do my black and white photos look flat?
Straight grayscale conversion preserves the original brightness, so a low-contrast color photo stays low-contrast in B&W. Shoot or pick images with strong light/shadow, and they translate beautifully.
Can I get the color version back after converting?
Not from the converted file — the color data is gone. Your original is untouched on your device, so keep it; this tool only ever produces a copy.
