AI Room Brightener

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your dark room photo

   Drop the underexposed photo into EditThisPic. Works with any interior room: living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, basements. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Simple exposure lift: 15-20 seconds. Heavily underexposed photos with strong shadows: may need one refinement to fully open up the dark areas.

   Describe how bright you want the result

   Type what you want: 'brighten this room to look naturally well-lit as if shot in midday natural light' or 'increase the exposure significantly — the room should look airy and spacious, not dark.' Describe the target brightness and mood. No marking needed — room brightening is a global adjustment the AI applies to the full image.

   Tip: Specifying the target mood — 'airy,' 'inviting,' 'bright but not overexposed' — gives the AI more to work with than just 'brighter.'

   Review and download the brightened photo

   Check that shadows are open, details are visible throughout the room, and the brightness looks natural — not washed out or blown out. Use the before/after slider to compare. Download when satisfied.

   Refine specific dark areas with markers if needed

   If a corner or area under furniture is still dark after the overall brightening, tap a marker on that spot and add 'open up the shadows in the marked area.' Markers are optional for simple brightness fixes.

   Tip: Markers are most useful for rooms where one zone (a dark corner or windowless alcove) stays dark while the rest brightens well.
