Browser tool

Threshold image

Runs locally in your browser. The selected image is not uploaded by this tool.

JPEG, PNG, and WebP are supported by default. Specialized converters restrict the file picker to their required input format.

Choose an image to start.

How to use

1

Upload an image

Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image from your device.

2

Set the threshold

Choose a preset or move the threshold slider. Lower values make more pixels white; higher values make more pixels black.

3

Preview

Generate the preview to inspect the black and white result, then invert it if you need a mask or negative.

4

Download

Save the processed image as a PNG.

Features

1

Adjustable threshold

Set the cutoff from 0 to 255 or start with presets for sketches, scans, and stencil-style output.

2

Pure black and white

Every output pixel is mapped to RGB 0 or RGB 255, with an invert option for masks, negatives, and cut paths.

3

Client-side processing

Canvas processing runs locally in your browser, so the uploaded image stays on your device.

4

PNG download

Export the thresholded result as a flattened PNG ready to save or share.

Common questions

Does this create grayscale?

+

No. The output uses only pure black and pure white pixels. Use the invert option when the black and white areas need to swap.

Are transparent images supported?

+

Yes. Transparent pixels are flattened onto white before thresholding.

Need AI edits too?

Use Magic Eraser for object removal, background cleanup, and creative image edits after exporting your threshold image.
