About

Brightening a photo well is more than pushing exposure: the dark areas need to open up while bright skies keep their detail.

These filters raise exposure and lift the shadows while holding back the highlights, so the picture gets lighter without washing out.

How it works

  1. Drop a photo or choose one from your device.
  2. The filter is applied instantly. Try the others in the list too.
  3. Fine-tune with the sliders and download the result.
