Brightly - Fix Dark Photos

Automatically brighten your photos and videos exactly where they are needed most.

With a single slider, Brightly adaptively brightens your photos in real time, revealing hidden details while maintaining a pleasing balance between light and dark areas, without overexposing regions that are already well-lit. Brightly also enhances video footage, applying lighting changes smoothly over time. Refine your results with a comprehensive set of professional-grade adjustments and elevate your editing workflow with essential pro features like RAW photo support and 4K video.

Magic Bar

When capturing photos, you often encounter uncontrollable lighting challenges: insufficient or uneven lighting, underexposure, backlit subjects, and inconsistent shadows. Thanks to its image processing algorithms that identify dark and bright areas within a photo—and how they interact—Brightly tackles these challenges, which traditional photo editing apps cannot resolve. Not only are the dark areas brightened, but their details and contrast are also enhanced. Already-lit areas remain free from overexposure and blend seamlessly with darker regions, resulting in visually pleasing, natural-looking images.

All this computation is consolidated into a single control: the Magic Bar. It is simple, fast, and intuitive. A quick tap allows you to adjust the lighting of photos and videos instantly, saving time and requiring less editing than other photo applications.

Video and Live Photos

Unlike other low-light photo apps, Brightly works with videos—including 4K, slow-motion, and timelapse footage—as well as Live Photos. Designed specifically for video, its algorithms dynamically brighten your clips and transition smoothly over time, ensuring they still look great even when lighting conditions change.

RAW and Wide Color Gamut Photos

Brightly can read RAW, Apple ProRAW, and wide color gamut photos, processing them with high precision to suit professional workflows. Results can be saved in JPEG format as well as lossless PNG and TIFF formats.

Adjustments

Brightly offers more than ten adjustment tools to fine-tune the results from the Magic Bar. Some are familiar controls you’d expect from any photo app: crop, exposure, contrast, saturation, vibrance, warmth, shadows, highlights, black, white, vignette, sharpening, and noise reduction. Others are unique to Brightly. Brilliance provides additional brightness boosts when needed without causing overexposure. Structure enhances local detail, with a more noticeable effect in darker areas compared to brighter ones. White Balance is a two-part control calibrated to eliminate color casts both indoors and outdoors. Surface Blur smooths large areas instantly while preserving edge definition.

Capture More

Other low-light photo apps require long exposures and/or multiple shots of the same scene, along with steady hands or a mounted camera. Moving objects during exposure introduce blur, and video recording isn’t possible. Moreover, these apps cannot improve photos you’ve already captured. This is exactly where Brightly excels.

Whether shooting photos or videos, Brightly empowers you to capture moments freely, giving you the flexibility to adjust lighting during post-processing. It also breathes new life into photos and videos in your library that were previously considered unusable.

Brightly’s computational photography engine combines computer vision science—how the human eye perceives light, color, and contrast—with the art of photography to restore images harmoniously.

Brightly is the perfect addition to any professional photographer’s toolkit.

Built for iOS

Designed exclusively for iOS, Brightly features deep integration, including drag-and-drop functionality and Dark Mode. It integrates seamlessly with the Photos app via photo extensions and share sheet extensions, allowing you to launch it quickly from other apps or through the Today widget, making editing simple and convenient.
