How do I restore an inverted video back to normal?

Color inversion is mathematically its own inverse — if you apply it to an already-inverted video, each pixel's color flips back to the original. Upload the inverted video, run the Invert effect at 100% strength, and you'll get the normal colors back.

My video was exported with a negative filter by mistake — can this fix it?

Yes. As long as only an invert / negate filter was applied (and not a more complex grade), running this tool once will reverse it exactly. If the original had additional color grading on top, the result will be close but not byte-perfect.

What if the colors still look wrong after uninverting?

If the video was processed with more than just a pure invert (e.g., solarize, thermal, or a full color grade), a single invert pass won't fully restore it. Try Color Grade for manual correction, or invert again to compare.

Does this work on live camera recordings with inverted colors?

If your camera or webcam recorded with an inverted / negative preview mode, yes — one invert pass restores the original colors. For cameras with IR / thermal modes, the output isn't a clean invert of visible light, so a single pass won't fully recover natural colors.

Yes. Inversion runs entirely in your browser using WebAssembly — no upload, no watermark, no file size limit. Works on any video or image.

Uninvert Video

Got a video with inverted colors that looks like a negative? Run it through this tool and the colors flip back to normal. Color inversion is its own inverse — applying it a second time cancels the first.
