Tip for great black and white
Black and white photos look best with more contrast: raise it a little for deep blacks and clean whites. Sepia gives the warm tone of an old print.
Questions and answers
Does it work for documents that want a black and white photo?
For that, use the passport photo maker and tick “Black and white”: it also gets the right size.
Does my original photo change?
No. The black and white version is a new file you download; the original stays the same.
Are my photos uploaded to a server?
No. Everything is processed inside your browser, on your own phone or computer. Your photos never leave your device and nobody else can see them.
