Brighten Dark Photos in One Click

Rescue underexposed shots — one click lightens the whole image, lifting shadow detail so dark photos become clear and viewable.

The lightening runs entirely in your browser on a canvas, so your photos never leave your device. Click lighten, preview, and download.

One-click brightening

No sliders to fiddle with — a single click applies a balanced lightening pass to the whole image.

Private by design

All processing happens locally in your browser — your photos are never uploaded to a server.

When to lighten

Night shots, backlit subjects, and underexposed scans all benefit — lightening reveals detail the original hid in darkness.

How to use

  1. Drop your photo into the upload zone.
  2. Click the Lighten button.
  3. Preview the result and download it.
