Terms of use for Black and White Filter
These terms govern use of Black and White Filter, the free browser tool that converts still photos to grayscale. By using the site, a visitor agrees to process only images the visitor has rights to handle and accepts the as-is limits described below.
Black and White Filter provides client-side conversion features without charging for standard still exports. The terms protect both the visitor and the service by clarifying acceptable use, intellectual property, disclaimers, and how updates take effect.
Accept the agreement by using the tool
Using Black and White Filter means the visitor accepts these terms of use in full. If any section is unacceptable, the visitor should leave the site and avoid uploading images into the converter workspace or Contact form, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
The homepage tool, About page, Blog, Contact form, and related localized routes all fall under this agreement. Continued visits after an update count as acceptance of the current published version.
Use only images with clear rights
Black and White Filter requires lawful use of every uploaded still before conversion begins. The visitor may convert photos only with ownership, a license, or clear permission to process and download a derivative grayscale version, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
Prohibited uses include converting images to infringe copyright, invade privacy, harass others, or break applicable law. Black and White Filter may refuse support for activity that violates these rules. The visitor remains responsible for how exports are shared after download.
Understand the service scope
Black and White Filter converts still images such as JPG, PNG, and WebP in supported browsers. The tool does not promise video conversion, PDF processing, selective color retention, or AI colorization of scans that never included color data, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
Features can change as presets, sliders, and interface details improve. Availability depends on a modern browser with canvas support. Localized pages mirror English functionality where translations exist.
Read the as-is disclaimer
Black and White Filter provides the service as-is without warranties of uninterrupted access, perfect device compatibility, or fitness for a particular commercial purpose. Results may vary by browser, GPU, color profile, and source file quality, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
To the extent local law allows, Black and White Filter is not liable for indirect damages, lost profits, or claims arising from how a visitor uses or publishes converted images. Some jurisdictions restrict disclaimer language; those mandatory rights stay intact.
Respect intellectual property
Black and White Filter retains rights to the site design, brand name, Darkroom interface, and original written materials on these pages. Visitors keep rights to their own photos and to lawful derivatives created with the converter, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
Scraping the site for competing services, reverse engineering beyond normal browser use, or misrepresenting affiliation with Black and White Filter is not allowed. Trademarks of third-party apps named for comparison remain their owners' property.
Follow updates to these terms
Black and White Filter may update these terms when features, laws, or policies change over time. The revised text appears on this page, and continued use after publication means the visitor accepts the updated agreement, so the agreement is clear before any upload begins.
Questions about the agreement can go through the Contact page. For how conversion data is handled, read the Privacy policy, which works alongside these terms rather than replacing them.
Continue only with clear rights
Black and White Filter remains free for lawful still-image conversion. Review Privacy for data practices, then return to the tool when a photo is ready for a private Rec. 709 grayscale pass without uploading files Use the buttons below to continue without guessing the next URL.
Lawful uploads, honest limits, and as-is delivery keep the service sustainable. Contact Black and White Filter if a clause needs clarification before heavy commercial use.
