Darken a photo

Did your photo come out too bright, with a white sky? Lower the brightness to bring back the colors, and add contrast if it looks washed out.

How to use it

  1. Choose your photo: it’s already darker.
  2. Adjust brightness, contrast and saturation to taste.
  3. Tap “Create image” and download it.

Bring back washed-out colors

We darken the highlights more than the shadows, so colors gain strength without the photo turning black. If it looks dull, add a little saturation.

Questions and answers

Can a completely white sky be recovered?

If the camera recorded pure white, there’s no detail left: darkening turns it grey. It does help a lot with photos that are just a bit too bright.

What if I want it brighter?

Move brightness to the right, or use brighten photo.
