How is this different from a brightness slider?

A slider lifts every pixel equally, so dark photos go flat and grey. This tool brightens shadows and midtones selectively and keeps highlights intact, like re-exposing the shot.

Can I control how bright it gets?

Yes. Add a note such as “just a little brighter” or “bright and airy”.

Does it work on very dark night photos?

It recovers a lot, but a photo that is almost black has little detail to recover. Results are best when the subject is at least faintly visible.

How much does it cost?

Each image costs 12 credits. The exact cost is shown on the button before you confirm.

Can I post the result on TikTok, Instagram or YouTube?

Yes, you can share what you create. Please label it as AI-generated, respect the people in your photos, and add music through the platform so it stays licensed.

What is Brighten Image with AI?

Phone photos taken indoors, at dusk or against the light often come out too dark. This tool lightens the image the way a good exposure would have — it lifts the shadows and midtones, recovers detail in dark corners and keeps bright areas from blowing out.

It is not a plain brightness slider: faces stay natural, colors do not turn grey, and noise in the dark parts is cleaned up as the photo is lightened.
