Convert a colour photo to grayscale – smooth shades of grey from black to white. Grayscale gives pictures a timeless, elegant look, reduces distractions, and is often required for documents and printing in black ink.
How to Make an Image Grayscale
- Choose your image.
- Grayscale is already selected – use the Amount slider to keep a hint of colour or remove it fully.
- Click Apply & save and download.
Grayscale vs Black & White
Grayscale keeps all the in-between tones, so photos look natural and detailed. A pure black and white image uses only black and white – great for scanned documents, signatures, stencils and high-contrast art.
Tips
- Portraits and architecture often look striking in grayscale.
- For a warm vintage tone instead of grey, choose Sepia in Photo Effects.
