About black & white

Black & White is part of the PixelDesk blur, pixelate & effects collection. High contrast black and white, with a pure 2-tone option. Hide faces or details, soften a busy background, or restyle a picture with borders, grain and colour effects.

Because everything is processed locally, black & white works instantly even on large files, keeps full quality until you choose to compress, and never stores a copy of your picture. There is no queue, no sign-up and no daily limit.

Frequently asked questions

Is black & white free to use?

Yes. Black & White is completely free, with no account, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation runs inside your browser using its own canvas engine, so your images never leave your device.

Which devices and browsers work?

Any modern browser on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android or iOS. After the first visit most tools keep working offline.

What can I do after black & white?

Chain it with other steps — resize, change DPI, blur, replace the background or compress to an exact KB target — in the PixelDesk Step Editor.
