Brightening underexposed photos

Indoor shots, backlit scenes, and quick phone snaps often come out darker than they looked in person. Brightening lifts the whole image — or just the shadows — so faces and detail are clear again. This tool gives you two complementary controls: Exposure and Brightness.

Exposure multiplies the light, brightening highlights and shadows proportionally for a natural result, while Brightness adds a flat lift that's great for opening up dark areas. A small contrast boost afterwards keeps the brightened photo from looking washed out.

How to brighten a photo

  1. Open your photo. Drag it onto the tool, choose a file, or paste it. The page opens already brightened a little.
  2. Lift the light. Raise Exposure for a natural lift, or Brightness to open the shadows. Add a little Contrast if it looks flat.
  3. Download. Save the brighter image in its original format.

Exposure vs brightness

Reach for Exposure first — it brightens the photo the way more light would have, keeping tones balanced. Use Brightness to rescue very dark shadows. If you just want the whole thing fixed automatically, press Auto-enhance.

よくある質問

How do I brighten a dark photo?

Open it and raise the Exposure and Brightness sliders, or press Auto-enhance to lift it automatically. A little contrast afterwards keeps it punchy.

What's the difference between exposure and brightness?

Exposure multiplies the light proportionally for a natural result; brightness adds a flat lift that's better for opening up very dark shadows.

Will brightening make my photo grainy?

Pushing a very dark photo hard can reveal noise. Add a little Denoise to smooth it, and avoid over-brightening.

Where is my image processed?

The enhancing happens in your browser, so the new file is created on your own device. How any data associated with the tool is handled is described in our privacy policy.
