Do I need to upload my photo or create an account?

No upload, account or credits are needed to edit and download locally. If you’re signed in, Save to assets uploads the adjusted image to your account’s asset library.

Which photos can I open?

You can open static RGB or grayscale JPG, PNG and WebP photos up to 32 MB and 16 megapixels. Animated images, HEIC, RAW, HDR and CMYK files are not supported. The editor reports an error for unsupported color profiles.

How are exposure and contrast different?

Exposure changes the overall light level; +1 EV corresponds to twice the linear-light intensity. Contrast changes the separation between brighter and darker tones. A dull photo may need contrast, while a dark photo may need exposure. Strong adjustments can clip tones, so increase values gradually.

When should I use highlights, shadows, whites and blacks?

Highlights and shadows target broader bright and dark regions. Whites and blacks focus on the brightest and darkest tones. Use them together to balance the picture, but do not expect them to recover detail already lost to clipping in the original file.

What is the difference between vibrance and saturation?

Saturation changes overall color intensity. Vibrance gives less saturated colors more emphasis, making it useful when you want a gentler color boost. Neither replaces correct temperature and tint, so balance unwanted color casts first.

Can image adjustments fix a blurry or overexposed photo?

Sharpening can make existing edges more defined, and tonal controls can reveal detail still present in a file. They cannot reliably recreate missing texture or recover an area recorded as a flat, clipped color. Keep adjustments moderate and inspect the result at its final size.

Which format should I choose for an adjusted image?

PNG and lossless WebP preserve transparency. JPEG uses lossy compression at quality 92 and flattens transparency onto white. Downloads keep the original dimensions. Exporting an already compressed source as PNG does not restore detail lost earlier.

How is an image adjuster different from a LUT tool?

An image adjuster gives you individual light, color and detail controls. A LUT applies a predefined color transformation. Use adjustments to balance a photograph, and use a LUT when you want to apply a consistent saved look.

Color

Fine-tune white balance and color intensity.

Detail

Sharpen edges and add a subtle vignette.

Start with the light, then refine the color. Small changes make it easier to keep skin, skies and product colors believable.

Exposure changes the overall light level. Contrast changes the separation between tones. Use highlights and shadows to target broader bright or dark areas, then whites and blacks to fine-tune the ends of the tonal range. Raising every control at once can flatten the photograph or push detail beyond the usable range.

Temperature changes the warm–cool balance, while tint addresses green–magenta shifts. Vibrance emphasizes less saturated colors; saturation changes overall color intensity. For portraits and product photos, start with restrained changes and compare skin tones, neutral backgrounds and familiar colors with the original.

Sharpening increases edge definition, but it cannot restore detail that was never captured. Inspect at 100% before choosing a final amount. Vignette changes the brightness around the edges, helping direct attention without changing the composition. Use it lightly when the image needs a natural photographic finish.

The editing workflow

How to adjust an image online

Open your original photo
Start with a static JPG, PNG or WebP. Keep the original file so you can return to it while comparing different adjustments.
Adjust and compare
Begin with exposure and tone, then refine color and detail. Compare with the original and inspect fine edges at 100%.
Choose your output
Use PNG or lossless WebP to preserve transparency. JPEG uses lossy compression and fills transparent areas with white. All downloads keep the original dimensions.
