Editor

Tune brightness, contrast, brilliance, shadows, and saturation in your browser—then export JPEG or PNG with private, local processing.

Free · private · in-browser

A focused image editor for tone and color—online, no upload

Balance brightness, contrast, brilliance, shadows, and saturation with live feedback, compare against the original, zoom the canvas, then download JPEG or PNG—everything runs locally until you export.

Use it when you want quick global polish without installing software: open a passport-style crop, a phone snapshot, or a sample, nudge sliders until the histogram “feels” right, and choose JPEG for smaller shares or PNG for lossless archiving.

How to use the Editor

Load your photo

Upload PNG, JPG, or WebP or tap a sample thumbnail. The padded white canvas shows a crisp grid border as soon as the image decodes.

Adjust and compare

Move the five sliders under Adjustments for live updates. Use Show original / Show edited or press and hold the eye control to glimpse the untouched file.

Export

Choose JPEG or PNG under Export settings, set JPEG quality if needed, zoom for a final check, then tap the green Download button.

Supported file formats

Load these types in the workspace. Export as JPEG (quality slider) or lossless PNG.

  • PNG
  • JPEG / JPG
  • WebP

Key features

Real-time adjustments, compare modes, zoom, and private export—handled in your browser.

  • Five professional sliders

    Brightness, contrast, brilliance, shadows, and saturation from −100 to +100 with defaults at neutral 0.

  • Original vs edited

    Segmented compare in the sidebar plus hold-to-preview on the canvas for quick A/B checks.

  • Canvas zoom

    Floating + / − controls scale the preview so you can judge noise and edges while editing.

  • JPEG or PNG export

    Pick your format and, for JPEG, dial quality from 1–100 before downloading the adjusted image.

  • Sample thumbnails

    Load built-in examples instantly to learn the controls before committing your own files.

  • Private local processing

    Pixels are decoded and adjusted on your device—we do not upload your image for this editor workflow.

Common use cases

  • Passport & ID prep

    Gentle contrast and shadow recovery can make faces readable under harsh office lighting before you crop in a dedicated ID tool.

  • Social & messaging

    Export a JPEG at a chosen quality for faster sends, or PNG when you need crisp text overlays and no compression artifacts.

  • Print-ready tweaks

    Lift shadows and refine saturation on one layer, compare with Show original, then save PNG for a lossless hand-off to print.

  • Learning tone controls

    Five linked sliders mirror pro apps closely enough to practice how brilliance differs from raw brightness or saturation.

Pro tips

  • How to balance shadows: lift shadows until detail returns, then nudge contrast back slightly so the image does not look flat.
  • Choosing JPEG vs PNG: use JPEG for photos destined for web or chat; choose PNG for graphics, text, or any time you want zero compression loss.
  • Brilliance adds midtone punch and vibrance-style color; if colors oversaturate, reduce Saturation before lowering Brilliance.
  • Reset all returns every slider to 0 instantly—use it as a baseline, then layer one adjustment at a time.
