Brighten a dark photo

Rescue dark, underexposed shots: exposure goes up, shadows open, and highlights are held back so skies don’t blow out. Every value stays adjustable.

How it works

  1. Drop or choose a photo above. Nothing is uploaded.
  2. The edit runs on your device as soon as the photo opens. Each step shows up as a layer you can adjust, hide or undo.
  3. Fine-tune in plain words (“a bit warmer”), then export at full resolution.

FAQ

Will brightening make my photo grainy?

Lifting very dark areas can show noise. If it does, say “reduce noise”.

Is my photo uploaded?

No. This edit runs in your browser, so your photo stays on your device. Only if you type an instruction for the AI is a small preview (at most 768 pixels) sent to plan the edit, and only optional generative edits (remove an object, new background) send part of the photo.
