Step by step

How to edit a photo

  1. Step 1: Drop a JPG, PNG or WebP photo on the box above, or select Choose file.

  2. Step 2: Move the brightness, contrast and saturation sliders, or choose a filter. 0 leaves a setting as it is.

  3. Step 3: Select Apply changes, check the preview, then Download image.

What each setting does

Brightness makes the whole photo lighter or darker. Contrast makes light areas lighter and dark areas darker, or flattens them towards grey. Saturation makes colours stronger, or softer down to grey at -100. Small changes, around 10 to 30, usually look the most natural.

Filters are applied after the sliders. Black and white removes all colour; sepia gives the warm brown tone of old prints. Set saturation and contrast first if you want to fine-tune how the filter looks.

What you get

The edited photo keeps its format and size in pixels: a JPG stays a JPG, and a PNG keeps its transparency. JPG and WebP photos are saved at a high quality. Camera details such as the date or location are not copied.

The preview on the result screen shows the edit. If it is too strong, select Start over and try smaller values; your original file is never changed.

Editing happens inside your browser tab. Your photo is never uploaded, and nothing is kept after you close the page.

Frequently asked questions

How do I fix a dark photo?
Raise brightness by about 20 to 40, then add a little contrast, around 10, so it does not look washed out.
How do I make a photo black and white?
Choose the Black and white filter, or set saturation to -100. Add some contrast for a stronger look.
Can I crop, draw or add text here?
Not in this editor. To add text, use Meme generator or Watermark image; to change the size, use Resize image.
Does editing change my original photo?
