How do I fix a photo that came out too dark?

Upload your photo and move the Brightness slider to between 115% and 140%, then slightly increase Contrast (110% to 120%) to keep dark areas crisp rather than washed out.

Will adjusting brightness reduce my image quality?

No. The tool processes the native full-resolution pixel buffer of your image and exports clean files with no downscaling.

Can I use this tool to increase color vibrancy?

Yes. Increasing the Saturation slider beyond 100% (e.g. 120%–140%) makes foliage greens, sky blues, and sunset warm tones appear noticeably richer.

Is my uploaded picture private and secure?

Yes. All image processing occurs strictly on your device CPU/GPU through your web browser canvas. No files are transmitted to any server.

What file formats can I edit and download?

You can upload PNG, JPG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, and BMP files, and download the edited result as either high-quality PNG or compact JPG.
