Krita is an open-source program that allows you to remove color from image with AI, making it ideal for artists and detailed image editing tasks.
How to Remove Color from image with AI
- Download the software from the official website and install it on your device.
- Open your image file in the software.
- Click Image → Convert Image Color Space → Grayscale.
- Select the “Luminance” formula to achieve a natural monochrome conversion effect.
- Adjust other settings as needed, then export the result as a PNG file.
This workflow allows you to use AI to remove color from images while maintaining transparency and artistic control.
ps
- Remember to always export in PNG format to preserve transparency and avoid loss of image quality.
- To achieve true AI-powered desaturation, you’ll need to install a third-party AI plugin.
- Once the conversion is complete, adjust the brightness and contrast to optimize the black-and-white effect.
