Frequently asked questions
Is grayscale the same as sepia?
No. Grayscale is neutral black-and-white, while sepia adds a warm brown tint for a vintage feel.
Can I get the colour back?
Not from the grayscale file — colour information is discarded. Keep your original if you might want it.
Is my photo uploaded?
No — the conversion runs in your browser.
