How to view PNG color and alpha channels

To inspect a PNG's channels, load it into the channel viewer and switch between views: the full RGB image, each individual red, green, and blue channel, the alpha channel, and an alpha-mask render. Each view isolates one part of the image so problems that are invisible in the normal preview become obvious.

The viewer renders these channel views for inspection and optional export, but the source file is never altered. If you need a specific channel as an image, you can export the current render as a new PNG.

All channel rendering and export run in your browser, so the PNG stays on your device and nothing is sent to a server.

  • Load one PNG
  • Switch between RGB, R, G, B, alpha, and alpha-mask
  • Spot contamination, halos, or hidden masks
  • Export the selected channel as PNG if needed

When channel inspection is useful

PNG channel views help when something feels wrong but the asset looks normal at first glance. Alpha contamination, leftover masks, and odd edge transitions often show up only in a channel-specific view rather than the composited image.

The alpha-mask view is especially handy: it turns opacity into a hard black-and-white mask so transparent and visible regions are easy to read quickly. That makes it simple to confirm whether a cutout is clean or carries stray semi-transparent pixels.

Does this alter the original PNG?

No. It renders channel views for inspection and optional export, but the source file stays untouched.

What is the alpha-mask view for?

The alpha-mask view turns opacity into a hard visible mask so transparent and visible regions are easier to read at a glance.
