Prepared files
Preview, inspect and downloadChoose an image and prepare it to see your result here.
Downloads are generated files, not links to stored uploads. Batch and layout tools can return several files.
Removing colour changes how some labels and subjects can be distinguished.
Inspect tonal separation after conversion, especially where different colours have similar brightness.
