Grayscale WMF images via Java
Build your own Java apps to grayscale WMF image files using server-side APIs
Aspose.Imaging for Java
Overview
How to Grayscale WMF Files Using Java
Brightness and multicolor are the companions of beautiful images. However, color printing isn’t always feasible. In such cases, converting a photo into grayscale becomes necessary. Additionally, this function can be utilized as an independent artistic approach, enhancing the appeal of your website. Instead of regretting the loss of color information during this transition, which might potentially hinder perception, leverage it to your advantage. Concentrate on the image’s details, surface textures, and the interplay of light and dark areas to craft a distinctive visual experience. In order to grayscale WMF files, we’ll use Aspose.Imaging for Java API which is a feature-rich, powerful and easy to use image manipulation and conversion API for Java platform. You can download its latest version directly from Maven and install it within your Maven-based project by adding the following configurations to the pom.xml.

Steps to Grayscale WMF via Java
You need the aspose-imaging-version-jdk16.jar to try the following workflow in your own environment.
- load WMF files with Image.Load method;
- grayscale image;
- save grayscaled image to disc in the supported by Aspose.Imaging format.
System Requirements
Aspose.Imaging for Java is supported on all major operating systems. Just make sure that you have the following prerequisites.

About Aspose.Imaging for Java API
Aspose.Imaging API is an image processing solution to create, modify, draw or convert images (photos) within applications. It offers: cross-platform Image processing, including but not limited to conversions between various image formats (including uniform multi-page or multi-frame image processing), modifications such as drawing, working with graphic primitives, transformations (resize, crop, flip&rotate, binarization, grayscale, adjust), advanced image manipulation features (filtering, dithering, masking, deskewing), and memory optimization strategies. It’s a standalone library and does not depend on any software for image operations. One can easily add high-performance image conversion features with native APIs within projects. These are 100% private on-premise APIs and images are processed at your servers.Grayscale WMF via Online App

WMF What is WMF File Format
Files with WMF extension represent Microsoft Windows Metafile (WMF) for storing vector as well as bitmap-format images data. To be more accurate, WMF belongs to the vector file format category of Graphics file formats that is device independent. Windows Graphical Device Interface (GDI) uses the functions stored in a WMF file to display an image on the screen. A more enhanced version of WMF, known as Enhanced Meta Files (EMF), was published later that makes the format more feature rich. Practically, WMF are similar to SVG.
