Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make a photo black & white?

Upload your photo and adjust the black & white threshold slider. The image converts to pure black and white pixels instantly. Download as JPG, PNG, or WebP.

What does the threshold slider do?

It controls the cutoff point between black and white. A lower threshold makes more of the image black; a higher one makes more white. Fine-tune it until your photo looks perfect.

Is black & white different from grayscale?

Yes. Black & white (threshold) produces only pure black or pure white pixels, ideal for documents and high-contrast prints. Grayscale keeps smooth gray gradients — try our Grayscale tool for that.

Is my data secure?

Absolutely. All processing happens locally in your browser. Your images are never uploaded to our servers, ensuring complete privacy.
