Example shown — upload your own PNG to adjust its brightness.
How it works
- Upload a PNG.
- Drag the brightness slider.
- 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.
