Brighten images FAQ
How to brighten a picture?
Is there an option to automatically brighten images?
The picture brightener feature uses toggle controls that let you choose the brightness level and other elements manually. If you prefer an automated tool, Picsart’s AI image enhancer can automatically sharpen images, which will adjust the brightness to create more contrast. Try using both tools to see what works best for your image.
How can I lighten a picture without overexposing?
Brightness is only one property that affects the vibrancy and clarity of an image. If the image looks overexposed after you lighten it, continue adjusting the brightness, contrast, saturation, and sharpness toggles to achieve the right balance.
Is the image brightener feature free to use?
Yes! You can brighten images online for free. Some Picsart tools and content may require a subscription, but you can find a variety of free image tools for editing and enhancing your photos.
