Brightness Adjuster

1What is Brightness Adjuster?

Adjust brightness and exposure with precise sliders.

Brightness Adjuster is part of the Pixly suite of professional image tools. It runs entirely in your browser with no software to install, requires no design experience, and delivers results in seconds — whether you are processing one image or an entire batch. Every operation is applied on the full-quality decoded image, so the output preserves the fidelity of your original file.

2How does Brightness Adjuster work?

Brightness shifts the luminance of every pixel by the offset you choose, implemented in linear light rather than raw gamma space — this keeps shadows and highlights from clipping prematurely the way naive brightness sliders do. The engine applies per-channel lifting with soft-clip rolloff in the last 5% of the range so highlights roll off gently instead of slamming into flat white.
