Image Color Balancer

Workflow & Usage

1. Add your images
   Drag & drop, paste, or click to select JPG, PNG, or WebP files.
   Previews load instantly and honor EXIF rotation.

2. Choose a preset (optional)
   Apply instant corrections such as:

   • Neutralize Blue Cast
   • Skin Tone Recovery
   • Film Warm / Film Cool
   • Golden Hour Emulation All presets simply adjust RGB offsets — you can still edit manually afterward.

3. Fine-tune the RGB channels
   Use the global sliders to shift each color channel in small, precise increments.
   Example uses:

   • Reduce green cast from fluorescent lighting
   • Warm up skin tones
   • Give landscapes a cinematic teal-and-orange style
   • Create stylized color grades

4. Edit individual images
   Each card has an Edit button that opens a modal with per-image RGB adjustments.
   Perfect for correcting tricky photos without affecting the rest.

5. Choose which images to export
   Include or exclude images, remove unnecessary items, or reset everything if needed.

6. Download your results

   • Download on a card exports that image only.
   • Download all as ZIP bundles all included items with automatically renamed files like:
     photo-balanced.jpg

Everything happens locally in your browser — no uploads, no servers, no waiting.

Use Cases

• Fix color casts
  Remove blue, green, or magenta shifts from indoor lighting or old cameras.

• Restore natural skin tones
  Correct pale, red, or overly cool skin tones with a single preset.

• Creative cinematic grading
  Apply warm film looks, cool tones, sunset styles, or infrared-inspired color shifts.

• Branding & content workflows
  Keep product photos consistent across different lighting conditions.

• Photographers & designers
  Quickly adjust multiple images at once without Photoshop or plugins.

Tips for Best Results

• Start with a preset.
  Presets give you a fast baseline — then you can fine-tune manually.

• Use subtle adjustments.
  Usually:

  • ±5 to ±15 for color correction
  • ±15 to ±30 for film-like grading
  • ±30+ only for creative looks

• Combine with other tools.
  After color balancing, refine your image with:

  • Temperature Adjustment
  • Saturation Control
  • Sharpen Effect

• Batch export to save time.
  Perfect for photos from the same camera or lighting environment.

How It Works

• Channel adjustments
  Every pixel is read and modified with:
  R' = R + rOffset, G' = G + gOffset, B' = B + bOffset
  Values are safely clamped to 0–255.

• EXIF-aware image loading
  Images load via createImageBitmap() using real orientation metadata.

• High-performance canvas pipeline
  The tool uses getContext("2d", { willReadFrequently: true }) for fast pixel operations.

• Original format preserved
  Exports always match your input format — quality stays intact.

• Local ZIP generation
  Uses JSZip to pack all results directly on your device.

• Privacy by design
  No uploads, no servers, no tracking — everything stays on your device.
