Exposure Adjustment

Adjust exposure in a photo or graphic without opening a full image editor. Raise a dark image, pull down an over-bright one, or blend a correction back into the original when the full adjustment is too much.

The tool renders a fast preview for interaction and exports from the source image size. You can work on JPEG, PNG, or WebP images and download the adjusted result from the browser.

Exposure Controls

Exposure changes the overall brightness in an EV-style range. Offset shifts tonal values more directly, while gamma changes how midtones are distributed.

If the image is underexposed, start by raising exposure slightly. If the image becomes flat, adjust gamma or use mix to reduce the correction. If the bright areas break first, increase highlight protection.

Tonal Focus

Tonal focus lets the adjustment lean toward shadows or highlights. Use a shadow focus when the subject is dark but the background is already bright. Use a highlight focus when you need to control bright regions without changing the whole frame as heavily.

This is not a raw photo editor, so it cannot recover detail that is not present in the file. It is best for visible tonal correction on already-rendered images.

Export Notes

The downloaded image is generated at the original pixel dimensions. JPEG input exports as JPEG, while PNG and WebP input export in their matching formats when available in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

You can load JPEG, PNG, and WebP images. The exported file keeps the same broad image type as the source where the browser supports it.

Highlight protection reduces the exposure change in bright areas, which helps keep skies, lights, and pale surfaces from clipping too quickly.

Mix blends the adjusted image with the original. Lower it when the exposure correction is useful but too strong.

No.
