How to use it

  1. Choose a photo.
  2. Pick a method and lower “Amount” to keep some color.
  3. Switch on “Pure black and white” for a high-contrast look, then save.

The natural method weighs green most heavily because the eye is most sensitive to it, so it usually looks most like a black-and-white film photo. Transparency is kept in PNG and WebP.
