Frequently asked questions
Which adjustment should I try first?
Start with brightness and contrast, then fix the colour with warmth, and finish with saturation. Small changes usually look more natural than big ones.
What does the warmth slider do?
It shifts colours toward orange and yellow for a warm look, or toward blue for a cool look. It is useful for fixing indoor photos that look too yellow or shade that looks too blue.
What do highlights and shadows do?
Moving the slider right brightens dark areas and tones down bright areas, bringing back detail on both ends. Moving it left increases the difference for a punchier look.
Will saving reduce the quality of my photo?
The photo is saved at full resolution with high quality. JPG photos are saved as JPG and PNG images stay PNG, so the difference from the original is very small.
Can I undo my changes?
Yes. Press Reset to return every slider and rotation to the start. Your original file is never changed.
Why does the preview look smaller than my photo?
Large photos are shown at a smaller size so the sliders respond instantly. All adjustments are applied again at full size when you save.
Can I crop or resize in this editor?
This editor focuses on light and colour. Use Crop Image to trim the edges and Resize Image to change the size, before or after editing.
Is my photo uploaded to be edited?
No. Every adjustment runs inside your browser, on your own device, so your photo stays private.
How this tool works. These image tools run entirely in your browser using the Canvas API built into every modern browser, the open-source libheif decoder for iPhone HEIC photos and Tesseract, a widely used open-source OCR engine, for reading text. Each tool is tested with real phone photos, screenshots and scans before it goes live, and nothing you open is sent to a server.
