Gamma Control

What is Gamma Correction?

Gamma correction adjusts image brightness using a power curve that affects midtones more than shadows or highlights. Adjust gamma online to brighten or darken the middle values of your image while preserving detail in the darkest and brightest areas. Unlike linear brightness or exposure adjustments, gamma correction uses a non-linear curve that creates more natural-looking results for display optimization and photo editing.

How to Adjust Image Gamma

Upload your photo to start adjusting gamma instantly. Drag the gamma slider left below 1.0 to brighten midtones and lift shadows, or right above 1.0 to darken midtones and add depth. Gamma 1.0 is neutral with no change. Values between 0.5-0.9 brighten images, while 1.1-2.2 darken them. Change gamma for monitor calibration, web display optimization, or creative photo editing. Download as PNG for lossless quality, JPEG for smaller files, or WebP for modern web formats.

Gamma vs Brightness vs Exposure

Brightness adds the same value to all pixels, often crushing blacks or blowing out whites. Exposure uses multiplication that simulates camera stops but affects all tones equally. Gamma correction uses a power curve that targets midtones while protecting extreme values, making it ideal for display color correction and subtle tonal adjustments. Use gamma adjustment for computer graphics color correction, monitor calibration, preparing images for web display, or when you need to brighten shadows without overexposing highlights in landscape photography and indoor portraits.

When to Use Gamma Adjustment

Lower gamma values (0.5-0.9) to brighten flat-looking images, recover shadow detail in underexposed photos, prepare images for dark displays, or create high-key photography effects. Increase gamma values (1.1-2.2) to add contrast and drama, deepen shadows in overexposed images, prepare graphics for bright displays, or create low-key moody photography. Perfect for web design color correction, video game screenshot editing, digital art color grading, and monitor calibration for consistent image display across devices.

Professional Gamma Processing

Export gamma-corrected images at full original resolution up to 4096x4096 pixels. The power curve gamma algorithm preserves fine detail while adjusting tonal distribution naturally. PNG format maintains perfect quality for professional print work and graphics. JPEG and WebP formats provide optimal compression for web galleries while preserving your gamma-corrected tonal adjustments with smooth gradients and natural midtone transitions for display on any device.
