Image to Black & white converter converts your color pixel images to grayscale where it changed from a colorful image to a black & white image. You just have to open and upload photo you wanna change and press the convert button. This converter changes images maintaining a high quality and pixel resolution of images.
RGB to grayscale image conversion online:
Gray RGB color code has equal red,green and blue values:
R = G = B
For each image pixel with red, green and blue values of (R,G,B):
R' = G' = B' = (R+G+B) / 3 = 0.333R + 0.333G + 0.333B
This formula can be changed with different weights for each R/G/B value.
R' = G' = B' = 0.2126R + 0.7152G + 0.0722B
Or
R' = G' = B' = 0.299R + 0.587G + 0.114B
Pixel with RGB values of (30,128,255)
The red level R=30.
The green level G=128.
The blue level B=255.
R' = G' = B' = (R+G+B) / 3 = (30+128+255) / 3 = 138
so the pixel will get RGB values of:
(138,138,138)
Colourful images are actually the combination of three basic coloured pixels which are Red, Green & Blue(RGB). The different coloured images have different RGB values depending on the number of respective colours. While the grayscale ( black & white ) images have an equal amount and RGB score of each basic colour.
For example, if a cloured picture has 40 pixels red, 50 pixels green and 60 pixels blue colours then this converter will add pixels of all three colours and divide it by 3 to get the mean value that is 50. Now, this converter will convert and distribute an equal RGB score of 50 for each colour to get a Grayscale i.e Black & White image.
