Frequently Asked Questions
Brightening a photo adjusts the light and tone so a dark, flat, or underexposed image becomes easier to see and more visually balanced. It is commonly used to fix dim phone photos, improve indoor pictures, recover shadow detail, prepare images for sharing, and create a cleaner final look without needing a full desktop editor.
Yes. You can upload multiple images, keep settings lock on to apply one lighting adjustment across the full batch, and then download one image or the whole set. This is useful when a group of photos needs the same general correction.
Turn off Lock settings, click the image you want to edit in the list, and then adjust brightness, exposure, shadows, or highlights for that image only. The rest of the batch will keep their own settings unchanged.
Brightness shifts the overall lightness of the image more evenly, while exposure changes the light level in a way that behaves more like a camera-style adjustment. In practice, brightness is useful for general lightening or darkening, while exposure can feel more natural when correcting an image that was captured too dark or too bright.
A good starting point is to use the Fix Dark Photo preset, or manually raise Brightness and Shadows to recover detail from darker areas. After that, add a little Contrast if the image still looks flat, and adjust Highlights if bright areas start to feel too harsh.
The adjustment itself does not reduce the image resolution, so the pixel dimensions stay the same. JPG, PNG, and WEBP generally keep their usual output format, while GIF and BMP files are exported as PNG after adjustment for broader compatibility.
