  2. Adjust the available options for the result you need.
  3. Choose Check contrast and review the output before using it.
  4. Copy or download the result, then clear the page if the input was sensitive.

Common uses

Private processing and offline access

This tool does not submit your input to a conversion server. Processing takes place inside the browser using local JavaScript and standard Web APIs. After the PWA has been installed or cached, the page and its core features remain available without an internet connection. Closing or clearing the page removes unsaved input; the tool does not create an account or cloud history.
