Exposure adjustment controls how light or dark your image appears, simulating what happens when you change camera exposure settings. Change exposure online to rescue underexposed dark photos or fix overexposed bright images. Unlike simple brightness, exposure adjustment naturally affects midtones and preserves detail in highlights and shadows, creating professional-looking results that mimic proper camera exposure settings.
Upload your photo to start adjusting exposure instantly. Drag the exposure slider right to increase exposure and brighten underexposed images, or left to decrease exposure and darken overexposed photos. The adjustment uses exposure stops (-3 to +3 EV) just like professional cameras, giving you precise control over image brightness. Download as PNG for lossless quality, JPEG for smaller files, or WebP for optimal web performance.
Brightness adjustment adds or subtracts the same value uniformly to all pixels, often losing detail in highlights or shadows. Exposure adjustment uses a multiplicative approach that simulates camera exposure stops, preserving more detail in bright and dark areas. This makes exposure ideal for fixing underexposed indoor photos, overexposed outdoor shots, or backlit portraits where brightness adjustment would create unnatural results. Adjust exposure for photography-grade corrections that maintain image quality.
Increase exposure for dark smartphone photos taken without flash, underexposed indoor event photography, backlit portraits with dark subjects, or nighttime photos that need brightening. Decrease exposure for overexposed beach photos, blown-out sky images, or bright window shots that need toning down. Perfect for wedding photography editing, real estate photos with mixed lighting, product photography needing consistent exposure, and social media images requiring professional-quality lighting fixes.
Export exposure-corrected images at full original resolution up to 4096x4096 pixels. The advanced exposure algorithm simulates camera exposure stops for natural-looking results that preserve image detail. PNG format maintains perfect quality for print-ready photos. JPEG and WebP provide excellent compression for web galleries and Instagram while keeping your exposure-adjusted images sharp with natural lighting and preserved highlight detail.
