How it works
- Upload a video
Tap Upload video and pick the video.
- Set the brightness
The editor opens on Filters with Brightness already at +40. Move it more or less, and add Contrast or Saturation if the picture looks flat.
- Save
Tap Apply adjustments. The brighter video gets its own link and a Download button.
One slider for dark videos
Brightness goes from −100 to +100. +40 makes the whole picture about a third lighter, +100 almost twice as light. Black stays black, so the picture does not turn gray.
Contrast and color
A brighter video can look flat. Contrast makes darks darker and lights lighter; Saturation makes colors stronger. Reset sets all three back to 0.
Same sound, same length
The sound and the length stay as they are. The video is saved as an H.264 MP4, up to 15 minutes long. You see the result while the video plays, before you save.
Brighten video: questions
How do I brighten a dark video?
Upload it — Brightness is already at +40. Move the slider until it looks right and tap Apply adjustments.
Will the bright parts turn white?
Parts that are already very bright can turn pure white at high values. Then use a smaller Brightness and a little Contrast instead.
Can I brighten only part of a video?
The setting is for the whole saved video. To keep just one part, set the start and the end in Trim.
Can I also change contrast and saturation?
Yes. They are right below Brightness, from −100 to +100.
Can I add a filter too?
Yes. B&W, Sepia, Vintage, Vivid, Noir, Dramatic and Invert are above the sliders.
Is it free?
Yes. No sign-up and no watermark.
