FAQ
Is grayscale the same as black and white?
Technically, "black and white" often refers to binary images (only black and white pixels), whereas "grayscale" includes many shades of gray. However, in common photography terms, they are used interchangeably to mean a photo without color.
Can I revert the image to color later?
Once you save the grayscale image, the color information is lost. You cannot restore the original colors from the grayscale file itself (unless you use AI colorization tools). Always keep a backup of your original photo.
Why convert to grayscale?
Grayscale images are great for artistic photography, reducing file size (sometimes), or preparing images for printing in black and white documents.
