HTML5 Canvas Invert Image Filter Tutorial

To apply filter to an Konva.Image, we have to cache it first with cache() function. Then apply filter with filters() function.

To invert the colors of an image with Konva, we can use the Konva.Filters.Invert filter.

For all available filters go to Filters Documentation.

Vanilla

import Konva from 'konva';

const stage = new Konva.Stage({
  container: 'container',
  width: window.innerWidth,
  height: window.innerHeight,
});

const layer = new Konva.Layer();
stage.add(layer);

const imageObj = new Image();
imageObj.onload = () => {
  const image = new Konva.Image({
    x: 50,
    y: 50,
    image: imageObj,
    draggable: true,
  });

  layer.add(image);

  image.cache();
  image.filters([Konva.Filters.Invert]);
  layer.draw();
};
imageObj.src = '/images/lion.png';
