The Monochrome Knowledge Base: FAQ

Is there a difference between 'Grayscale' and 'Black & White'?
Yes. Most people use them interchangeably, but technically 'Grayscale' contains shades of gray, while 'Black & White' (Binary) is only 100% black and 100% white.
Will my image be smaller after converting to grayscale?
Sometimes. Because there is less color information to store, the file size can decrease by 10-30% depending on the image complexity.
Can I convert my grayscale image back to color?
No. When you convert to grayscale, the specific color data (Hue and Saturation) is discarded. Always keep a backup of your original color file!
Does the tool work with transparent backgrounds?
Yes. If you upload a transparent PNG, the filter will only affect the solid pixels, leaving the transparent background intact.
Can I use these grayscale assets for business?
Absolutely. You can use our grayscale converter for professional photography, book publishing, or any other commercial project for free.
Which formula do you use for conversion?
We use the standard Rec. 709 luminance formula (L = 0.2126R + 0.7152G + 0.0722B) for the most natural-looking results.
Can I convert batches of photos?
Currently, we focus on high-quality single-image processing to ensure each photo gets the full attention of our rendering engine.
Does it work on my iPhone or Android device?
Yes! Our tool is fully mobile-responsive and works perfectly in Safari, Chrome, and other mobile browsers.
How do I know my photos aren't being stored?
We maintain a Zero-Log security posture. The conversion is done via client-side JavaScript, meaning your photo never leaves your browser's local memory.
Can I use this for scanning old documents?
Yes! Converting document scans to grayscale is a great way to improve contrast and readability for printing or OCR archiving.
