About this tool
A solid black PNG at any size you need, generated in one click. Black images get used for video work more than anything else: fade-to-black frames, letterbox bars, transition slates and blank frames in a timeline. They are also useful as overlay layers for dimming a background image, as dark-mode mockup backgrounds, and as placeholders in designs that will end up dark. The default is pure black (#000000). Worth knowing: pure black is often not the right choice for a design. Most dark interfaces use a very dark grey, around #121212 or #1a1a1a, because pure black against bright text produces harsh contrast and visible halation for many readers. If you are making a dark-mode background rather than a video frame, open the custom colour picker and lift it slightly. Everything is generated in your browser and downloaded directly.
Frequently asked questions
How do I create a solid black image?
Choose your size above and click Generate & Download. The background is already pure black, so the file is ready immediately.
What is the hex code for pure black?
#000000, which is RGB 0, 0, 0. That is the default here.
Should I use pure black for a dark mode design?
Usually not. Most dark interfaces use a very dark grey such as #121212 or #1a1a1a, because pure black behind bright text creates harsh contrast that is tiring to read. Use the custom colour picker to lift the shade slightly.
What size should a black video frame be?
Match your project resolution: 1920 × 1080 for HD or 3840 × 2160 for 4K, both available as presets above. A mismatched frame will be scaled or letterboxed by your editor.
