Correct image brightness and exposure

Useful for photographers, sellers and everyday users fixing a picture that came out too dim or uncomfortably bright.

Brighten or darken an image with a direct exposure adjustment, recovering a more balanced result from a frame that feels poorly lit.

How to use

  1. Upload a PNG, JPEG or WebP file that is 20 MB or less.
  2. Find the exposure control, which normally starts at zero.
  3. Move the value upward to brighten the picture or downward to make it darker.
  4. Apply the change and compare the preview with the original so highlights do not become pure white.
  5. Download the corrected image if the overall brightness looks more balanced.

Example

An online seller photographed a bag in a dim room. They upload the JPEG, raise exposure in small steps, check that the label text remains readable, and download a brighter image for the product listing.

Limits and formats

Where processing happens

The exposure change is computed by your browser on the file you selected. No copy is sent away for editing, so the brighter or darker result is produced locally and the original photo remains on your device.

Frequently asked questions

What exposure value should I use?

There is no single correct number. Begin with a small shift, study the preview, then adjust until important details are visible without large areas turning completely white or black.

Can I brighten only part of the image?

No, this control changes global exposure. To lighten just a face or an object, you would need a more advanced editor with selections or masks.

Does the correction change colors?

Exposure mainly affects brightness, but a strong adjustment can alter how colors appear. Check the final result to make sure skin tones and product colors still look natural.
