When to use this tool

Upload the image and create a grayscale export in the desired format.

A practical example

Make a colour photograph suitable for a monochrome layout.

Check the exported result

Check that differently coloured objects remain distinguishable by their brightness.

Common problems and limits

Grayscale keeps intermediate tones; it is not the same as a strictly two-colour black-and-white document scan.

Choose the next step

Brightness & Contrast can improve tonal separation before a monochrome export.

Files, privacy and saving

This tool offers browser processing for the supported operation. Check the selected processing mode before continuing; server options require an explicit upload choice. Keep your original, review the downloaded result and choose a clear filename before sharing it. The privacy policy explains the processing approach.
