Questions
How do I brighten a dark photo?
Drop it into the brightener at the top of this page. Auto light fixes the overall light right away; move the Brightness slider to lift the shadows more, then press Download.
Will brightening make my photo look washed out?
The brightness slider lifts dark and middle tones while keeping highlights from blowing out, so faces and details stay visible. If it looks flat, add a little contrast.
Can I brighten a picture on my phone?
Yes. Open this page in your phone's browser, tap Choose image and pick the photo from the gallery. No app needed.
Is the quality kept?
The full-size image is processed, not a preview, and saved in the same format: JPG stays JPG, PNG stays PNG.
Is my photo uploaded?
No. It is brightened in your browser, on your own device.
Photo blurry as well? Unblur an image. Want to change a color instead? Image color changer.
