Brighten Dark Room Photo

How it works

1. 1

   Upload your photo

   Drop your dark interior photo into EditThisPic. Works on any room — living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, basements, bathrooms. JPG, PNG, WebP up to 7MB.

   Expect: Simple brightness boost: 10-15 seconds. Severe underexposure with window backlighting: may need a second pass for balanced results.

   Describe what you want

   Type your instruction: 'brighten this room with natural-looking daylight' or 'make this room bright and well-lit as if there were more windows.' Be specific about the light quality — 'soft natural light,' 'warm afternoon glow,' or 'bright even lighting.' No marking needed — the AI brightens the entire interior.

   Tip: Add 'keep the window view unchanged' if your photo has windows — otherwise the AI may over-brighten them too.

   Copy one of these to get started:

   Balance window light with dark interior balance the exposure so the room interior is bright and visible while the window view stays natural, not blown out or too bright

   Generate and review

   Check that the brightness looks natural, not blown out. Verify that shadows still exist but are lifted — completely shadowless rooms look flat and artificial. Confirm furniture and decor colors look accurate under the new lighting.

   Refine with markers if needed

   If one corner is still too dark or a specific area got over-brightened, tap markers there and describe the adjustment. This is optional — most room brightening works perfectly on the first try.

   Tip: Markers are for precision refinement, not a required step. Try without them first.
