Frequently Asked Questions

Does converting to grayscale reduce the file size?

Not necessarily – the output is a lossless PNG which may be larger or smaller depending on the original format. If you need to compress the result, use our Compress Image tool afterwards.

Will the image dimensions change?

No. The output PNG has exactly the same width and height as the source image – only the colour is removed.

What image formats are supported?

Any raster format your browser can display: JPEG, PNG, WebP, BMP, and sometimes even TIFF. The output will always be a PNG.
