Reduce Image Exposure

Removes overexposure: the photo darkens in EV steps, as if it had been shot with exposure compensation.

Drop photos here or click to select โ€” up to 50 files at once JPG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC from your phone. Photos are processed in your browser and never leave your device.

Drag in an overexposed photo and it will immediately get one step darker. The Exposure slider moves the image further down or back up, while the curtain on the preview shows the before and after.

If the photo looks fine overall and only the sky or a window is blown out, move the Highlights slider to the left: it tames just the bright areas, leaving the shadows untouched. Fully white spots cannot be recovered by lowering exposure โ€” there are no details left in them, and they will only turn plain gray.
