Frequently asked questions
Can I partially desaturate an image?
Yes. The intensity slider blends between the original colours (0%) and full black & white (100%), so you can achieve a muted, partially-desaturated look.
Can I convert many images at once?
Yes — add a batch, apply the same intensity to all of them, and download the set as a ZIP.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The grayscale effect is applied locally in your browser using the canvas filter, so your images never leave your device.
