Why Adjust Brightness?

Brightness adjustment is essential for correcting exposure, enhancing visibility, creating artistic effects, or normalizing a batch of photos for consistent presentation. Unlike filters, brightness preserves colors while uniformly shifting luminance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does brightness adjustment work?

Brightness is adjusted by adding an offset to each RGB channel. Positive values brighten, negative values darken. The operation is performed on a Canvas pixel buffer locally in your browser.

Will adjusting brightness reduce quality?

No. The original dimensions are preserved and export is PNG for lossless quality. You can re-adjust without cumulative loss by resetting to 0.

Are my images uploaded?

No. Brightness adjustment is performed locally in your browser using Canvas pixel manipulation. Your image never leaves your device.

What is the brightness range?

From -100 (darkest) to +100 (brightest), with 0 as original. Presets for -50, -25, +25, +50, +75 are available for quick adjustments.

Can I compare original and adjusted?

Yes, hold the "Hold to Compare" button to temporarily show the original image, or check the side-by-side preview.
