Knowledge Hub — Deep Dive
Does this tool just lower saturation, or is it true B&W?
We apply a weighted Grayscale algorithm (e.g., heavily weighting the Green channel) which mimics natural human eye perception, yielding a far richer monochrome result than basic desaturation.
Can I process high-resolution DSLR photos?
Yes. The only limit is your browser's RAM allocation. Modern hardware can comfortably process 20+ megapixel photos client-side.
Is my data at risk of being saved?
No. Akbarak runs as a "zero-knowledge" utility. The browser Canvas manipulates the pixels locally and clears them upon exit.
