Details and tips

How it works

A weighted RGB brightness estimate assigns each pixel to black or white. Alpha is retained, so existing transparent and translucent areas stay available in the PNG.

Made for everyday images

Prepare bold line art, high-contrast masks and monochrome graphic experiments.
