FAQ

Will the photo look flat and gray?

No — the conversion keeps luminance (how bright each pixel looks to the eye) instead of just averaging RGB, so contrast and detail survive. The portrait and landscape presets borrow from classic darkroom filters for extra punch.

What’s the difference between the presets?

Neutral uses the standard Rec.709 weights. Portrait is red-weighted like a soft red filter — skin turns smooth and bright. Landscape is green-weighted like a yellow filter — skies deepen and foliage pops.

Can I convert many images at once?

Yes — drop or select multiple files and hit “Download all (ZIP)”. The same conversion applies to every image, and each keeps its own dimensions.
