What does the solarize threshold do?

The threshold sets the brightness level (0-255). Pixels with a value higher than this threshold are inverted, creating the characteristic solarization effect.

Can I keep my original file format?

Yes, you can select 'Keep original format' in the output settings to maintain the file type of your uploaded image.

What is the difference between Standard and Color Solarize?

Standard Solarize typically applies the effect to the overall luminance, while Color Solarize preserves color channels without converting the image to grayscale.

Is there a limit to the file size I can upload?

Yes, the tool supports image files up to 10MB in size.

Which output format is best for quality?

PNG is recommended if you want to ensure maximum image quality without compression artifacts.
