How do I use the Image Brightener?

Step 1

Upload a photo

Upload a picture of your choice, and you will be automatically forwarded to the editor.

If you are on your smartphone, make sure, you download the app to edit directly on your phone.

Step 2

Then: Activate the brightener

Now click on the object or person in the foreground. The tool automatically distinguishes between the background and the objects or people in the front of your photo. By using the 'light on' button, the foreground is automatically illuminated. This is great if you want to highlight a specific part of your photo.

Step 3

Edit your image

Following this quick enhancement, you can now choose to use different templates or add additional text to the image.

Depending on the purpose of your image, the options in the editor are numerous

Don't depend on your camera

When a photo is taken in dim lighting or at night, an Image Brightener can help bring out details that may have been lost due to insufficient light. Sometimes, due to camera settings or challenging lighting situations, images may appear too dark. An Image Brightener can also correct the exposure and reveal hidden details.

Brighten your image for stunning photo shoots

Brightening an image can make it more vibrant, lively, and visually appealing, which is often desired in various forms of media, such as advertisements, social media posts, and artistic compositions. Especially if you want to focus on highlighting an object or a person in an image, you should try Photoroom today.

    Suitable photos for my website

    I love being able to remove backgrounds from my pictures. I sell online, and when I take pictures, it's not always in a clean, uncluttered environment. I like how Photoroom gets rid of all of that and allows me to change the background to something more pleasing to the eye and suitable to place on my website.
