How does the grayscale filter work?

It iterates across the image pixel data using standard photometric luminance weighting (0.299 Red + 0.587 Green + 0.114 Blue) to render authentic monochromatic tones.

Can I convert color documents and receipts to black and white?

Yes. Converting color receipts, invoices, and documents to black and white enhances text contrast and significantly reduces file size for printing or archiving.

Does converting to grayscale reduce image file size?

Yes, grayscale images discard chrominance color channels, reducing uncompressed memory footprint and yielding substantially smaller compressed image files.

Are my uploaded photos kept private?

Absolutely. All pixel color calculations execute client-side in HTML5 Canvas. Your photos never leave your device.
