Frequently asked questions

How do I adjust the gamma of an image?
Select your file, then drag the gamma slider. Values below 1 brighten midtones, values above 1 darken them.
What does 1.0 mean?
At 1.0 the image is unchanged. Pure black and pure white stay fixed at any setting; only the midtones move.
How is gamma different from brightness?
Brightness shifts all tones uniformly, while gamma applies a power curve that reshapes midtones and preserves the black and white points.
What file formats can I export?
You can export as PNG, JPEG, WebP, TIFF, BMP, or HEIC.
Is this tool free to use?
Yes — completely free, no account needed. Your images are processed entirely in your browser and never uploaded to a server. Downloads have no watermarks.
