Important limitations

  • Colors with similar perceived brightness can merge into the same gray tone.
  • This is a tonal conversion, not selective color editing or a true two-color threshold.
  • JPG output is flattened and re-encoded, so repeated saves can introduce additional compression artifacts.

Common questions

Grayscale JPG FAQ

Does Convert JPG to Grayscale upload my image?

No. Decoding, canvas processing, previewing, and export happen in the current browser session.

Does the downloaded file replace the original?

No. The tool creates a separate download; the source file on your device is not modified.

Will metadata remain in the result?

Canvas export normally omits camera EXIF and most ancillary metadata. Keep the original if those records matter.
