Questions
Is grayscale the same as black and white?+
For photos, yes: both mean a picture made only of grays. Noir adds extra contrast for deep blacks and bright whites.
How do I make a sepia photo?+
Choose the Sepia style. It gives the warm brown tone of old prints.
Can I keep a little color?+
Yes. Lower the strength; at around 70% most color is gone but a faint tint remains.
Are my photos uploaded?+
No. The photo is converted in your browser, and the photo never leaves your device.
