Common Issues
The fix changed areas you didn't want changed
Why: AI sometimes applies edits too broadly across the image
Use tap markers to precisely indicate the area that needs fixing
Edit looks artificial or over-processed
Why: AI sometimes overdoes corrections, making results look fake
Adding 'subtle and natural' to any prompt reduces AI over-correction
Colors shifted after the fix
Why: Brightness or exposure corrections can inadvertently shift color balance
Mention 'preserve original colors' when you only want one specific thing fixed
Fix worked on some areas but missed others
Why: AI focuses on the most prominent area and may skip smaller ones
For missed areas, do a second pass with a marker on the specific spot
Frequently Asked Questions
Will brightening people ruin the sunset?
No, when using the right prompt. Smart mode selectively adjusts the foreground subjects while leaving the sky untouched. The sunset stays exactly as beautiful as it was.
Can this fix completely black silhouettes?
In most cases, yes. Even seemingly black areas contain recoverable shadow detail. Very extreme silhouettes may not recover full detail but will show significantly more than before.
Does this work for photos against windows?
Yes. Any backlit scenario — sunset, windows, bright backgrounds — works the same way. The AI brightens the dark foreground subjects.
Is this really free?
Yes — 1 free edit per week, no account needed. Plans start at $3.99/month for unlimited.

Yes. Works in any mobile browser. No app needed.
