What is an image X ray filter?

An X ray style filter is a visual effect that inverts and recolors an image so it looks like a glowing radiograph. It is a style tool, not a medical one.

Tool description

This tool turns a normal image into an X ray inspired version. You can adjust the intensity, contrast, glow, tint color, and scanlines, then export the result as PNG, JPG, or WebP.

Features

  • Applies an X ray look with live preview
  • Lets you tune intensity, contrast, glow, tint color, and scanlines
  • Exports in PNG, JPG, or WebP format

How it works

The tool reads the image in the browser, draws it to a canvas, and remaps the colors with an inverted luminance pass. It then applies the glow and scanline effects before exporting the finished image.

Tips

  • Strong shapes and high contrast subjects usually look best.
  • Use PNG when you want the cleanest output, or JPG and WebP when file size matters.
  • The scanlines option gives the effect a more classic radiograph feel.
