Return to: Technology NewsSoftaken Introduces Free Online Tool for Adjusting Photo Brightness and ContrastSoftaken Software has launched a free online tool for users to adjust the brightness and contrast of a photo in their web browser. softaken.com/online/brightness-contrast is a tool to quickly adjust photos that are too dark, flat, etc. and require lighting corrections without the need for desktop editing software or uploading files to a server. One of the more common problems people run into with photos is uneven lighting, be that a dim room, a backlit photo or a scan that came out too dull. Many editing tools can do this kind of adjustment, but most require either an installed application or uploading to a third party server. Softaken has developed this tool so the entire process remains local, and images are processed on the user’s device rather than being sent somewhere else. “The idea behind this tool is that people can make the adjustment, see the result, and download it, all in one browser tab” said a Softaken product representative. You can upload an image and then use the sliders to adjust the brightness and contrast. As you change these settings, you can see a live preview. The changes are not permanent until the file is downloaded, so users can go back to the original image at any time if the result is not what they wanted. The tool does not change the resolution or sharpness of the image itself, only how light, shadow and contrast look. It supports popular formats such as JPG, PNG and WEBP and doesn’t ask you to sign up or provide any payment details. The key features are: • Local processing – Changes are made completely within the browser, without sending any image data to Softaken’s servers. • Live preview – Lets users see the changes to brightness and contrast in real time before saving • Non-destructive editing – You can roll back changes anytime until the file is downloaded • No quality degradation – Resolution and sharpness are unaffected by brightness or contrast adjustments • No registration required – Free and no registration needed • Cross-device access – Enjoy cross-device access through major browsers like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge, including mobile versions. For users who want more advanced control or looking to make adjustments on a number of images at the same time, Softaken recommends its desktop software which has further editing features for bigger jobs. The brightness and contrast tool is the newest of Softaken’s free, browser-based image utilities, which all operate on the principle that common photo edits should not require software installations or uploads to a remote server. Softaken Software Softaken Software makes tools for converting files, recovering data and performing everyday digital tasks, including a set of free online utilities that run entirely in the browser. The company is focusing on local, on-device processing as a more private alternative for users to server-based editing tools.
