How it works
- Upload a video
Tap Upload video and pick the video.
- Pick the look
The editor opens on Filters with B&W picked. Noir gives a darker black and white with more contrast; Sepia gives the brown look of an old photo.
- Save
Tap Make B&W. The black and white video gets its own link and a Download button.
Real gray tones
B&W keeps the brightness of every color, with the same weights HD video uses, so faces and skies keep their detail.
Make it stronger
Under Adjust, Contrast makes the black and white punchier and Brightness makes it lighter or darker. Noir is B&W with strong contrast in one tap.
Same sound, same length
The sound and the length stay as they are. The video is saved as an H.264 MP4, up to 15 minutes long. You see the result while the video plays, before you save.
Black and white video: questions
How do I make a video black and white?
Upload it — the editor opens with B&W picked. Tap Make B&W.
What is the difference between B&W and Noir?
Noir is black and white with much more contrast — darker shadows and brighter lights.
Can I give it an old film look?
Tap Sepia for brown tones, or Vintage for soft, warm, faded colors.
Will the sound stay?
Yes. The sound and the length stay as they are.
Can I turn a black and white video into color?
No. BasePic can take color away, but it cannot add colors that are not in the video.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark.
