Make a Video Black and White

Make any video black and white — a free grayscale converter that strips all color for the classic monochrome look. Private and browser-based.

Making a video black and white removes all color information so every frame renders in shades of gray — the classic black-and-white film look. EditClips.online converts to grayscale directly in your browser with no upload: drop in the clip, keep Grayscale selected (Sepia and High Contrast B&W are one click away), click Process, and download. Audio, resolution, and frame rate are preserved.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is grayscale?
Grayscale removes all color information from a video, leaving only brightness values. Each pixel becomes a shade of gray from black to white.
Will grayscale reduce file size?
Slightly. Grayscale video has less color data, but the difference is small since H.264 compression already handles color efficiently.
