Adjust Exposure Online Free - Photo Brightness

Brighten photos taken in low light or with incorrect camera settings. The exposure slider reveals hidden details in shadows while maintaining natural color balance. No more throwing away dark shots.

Unlike simple brightness adjustments, our exposure tool preserves image data in both highlights and shadows. Drag the slider until your image looks natural, then fine-tune with shadow controls for perfect results.

Essential for indoor photography, sunset shots, or any scene where your camera underexposed the image. Recover photos that looked hopeless straight from the camera.

Rescue blown-out highlights and washed-out photos. The exposure slider darkens overly bright images while the highlights control specifically targets bright areas. Bring back sky detail, recover window views, and fix flash-heavy shots.

Photos taken in bright sunlight or with too much flash often lose detail in the brightest areas. Our highlight recovery algorithm pulls back usable data from near-white pixels, revealing textures and colors you thought were gone.

Perfect for beach photos, snow scenes, or backlit portraits where the camera struggled with extreme brightness. Combine with our crop tool for complete photo correction.

Beyond basic exposure, separate sliders let you target bright highlights and dark shadows independently. Reduce harsh highlights without darkening the entire image. Lift shadows without washing out bright areas.

This technique mirrors professional photo editing workflows where highlights and shadows receive individual attention. The result looks more natural than blanket exposure adjustments that affect everything equally.

Photographers use this approach to create balanced images with visible detail across the full tonal range. Learn more about exposure techniques in our photography guides.

Watch your adjustments update instantly as you drag sliders. The live preview shows exactly how your final image will look before you commit. No guessing, no surprises when you download.

Not sure where to start? Click the auto-adjust button for intelligent exposure correction based on histogram analysis. The algorithm evaluates your image and suggests optimal settings, which you can then fine-tune manually.

Auto-adjust works great for quick fixes or as a starting point for manual refinement. Combine with our resize tool to prepare images for web or print after correction.

Adjust exposure in any modern format: JPG, PNG, WebP, HEIC/HEIF (iPhone photos), AVIF, TIFF, BMP, SVG. The tool automatically handles format conversion without extra steps.

iPhone users can fix HEIC/HEIF photo exposure directly without manual conversion. Export to WebP for smaller file sizes, or PNG to preserve transparency. Legacy formats like TIFF work seamlessly too.

From cutting-edge AVIF to classic JPG, handle every format with automatic compatibility. Perfect for cross-platform workflows and modern web standards.
