Result

Every pixel's brightness is adjusted, transparency preserved.

Example shown — upload your own PNG to adjust its brightness.

How it works

  1. Upload a PNG.
  2. Drag the brightness slider.
  3. Download the brightness-adjusted result.

Adjustment reads the image's pixel data via the canvas API and adds the chosen offset to each pixel's red, green, and blue values (clamped to 0-255), leaving alpha untouched — the same math behind a brightness slider in any photo editor.

FAQ

Is my image uploaded anywhere?

No. Brightness is adjusted entirely in your browser using the canvas API — your PNG is never sent to a server.

Does it preserve transparency?

Yes — only the RGB channels are adjusted. The alpha channel is left untouched.

What range can I adjust brightness by?

From -100 (much darker) to +100 (much brighter), with a live preview as you drag the slider.

Does this reduce image quality?

No — pixel values are adjusted directly; resolution and compression stay the same.
