Onboarding checklist
Pick a design, then choose an image layer from its layer list.
The four sliders snap to that layer's stored values (or 0 for a fresh layer), shown beside each label.
Drag the sliders — the numeric readout updates live so you can note exact values.
Click Apply adjustments . The live preview re-renders with your changes.
Steps tick themselves off as you work — or tap any step to toggle it.
Adjust an Image techniques
Dial in exposure before you exportColor grades with a cinematic feelRescue flat photos in a single passMatch every image to your palette
Good design often comes down to the last ten percent — an image that's a touch too dark, colors that need more punch, or a photo that feels cold next to warm brand colors. The Adjust Image tool gives you four precise sliders — brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth — for any image layer in your design, each running from −100 to +100 with 0 as neutral.
Adjustments are stored as parameters on the layer, not baked into pixels, so they're fully non-destructive: come back later and change your mind, or reset everything to neutral with one click. Every change is saved instantly to your browser's local storage, so your settings travel with the design.
The values you set here are the same ones the photoaicompany renderer uses when you export — what you see in the live preview is exactly what lands in your PNG, JPG, or SVG file.

Tips
One-click Auto-enhance applies a balanced grade (brightness +8, contrast +18, saturation +12, warmth +2) — a solid starting point before fine-tuning the sliders.
Small moves win: most photos look best with brightness and contrast between −15 and +15.
Warmth shifts the white balance toward golden (+ values) or cooler blue tones (− values) — handy for matching photos to brand colors.
Drop saturation to −100 for true black-and-white without leaving the tool.
Stack this with the photo-filter tool: filters apply underneath, and these adjustments refine on top.
What it costs
Free on this site — and it can't be metered. Adjust an Image uses no AI and runs entirely in your browser: no usage counters, nothing sent to our servers to bill. When credit metering arrives in the app, local operations like this one will never consume AI credits — only server-side AI generations will.
Frequently asked questions
Are these adjustments destructive?
No. photoaicompany stores your settings as numbers on the image layer — the original image is untouched, and you can change or reset the values any time before or after exporting.
Do adjustments affect exports?
Yes. The renderer applies your brightness, contrast, saturation, and warmth settings when exporting PNG, JPG, and PDF, so the live preview is a true representation of the final file.
What does warmth do that saturation doesn't?
Saturation changes color intensity overall; warmth shifts the color balance — positive values add golden warmth, negative values cool the image toward blue. Together they handle most color-correction work.
Drag the handle — it glides with physics when you let go. Adjust an Image, transformed in one pass.

Design
Duplicate before experimenting: the original stays safe while the copy takes risks. Archive finished designs instead of deleting — old work becomes tomorrow’s template.
Pro tip: Star the designs you’ll revisit weekly.

Image layer
Your imagery is your unfair advantage — nobody else has your photos. Lead with them. Compress uploads before adding them if they came straight from a camera; huge files slow the canvas.
Pro tip: Name uploads descriptively — future-you will thank present-you in the layers panel.

Think of this control as seasoning: essential in the right amount, ruinous in excess. Start subtle. The default value is a sensible starting point chosen for the most common case — depart from it deliberately.

Adjust an Image techniques that look professional
Four field-tested techniques, each shown on real photography. Steal them all.
Faces beat objects.Human faces pull the eye first — lead with people when the message allows it. Make it part of your Adjust an Image routine.
Bleed the photo, box the text.Full-bleed imagery feels cinematic; contained text blocks feel deliberate — the contrast is the design. Inside Adjust an Image, this single habit pays off fast.
Grade for unity, not for drama.A consistent grade across all photos makes a set feel art-directed instead of assembled. Your Adjust an Image work will show the difference immediately.
Backgrounds should disappear.If anyone notices the background, it failed — demote it until the subject owns the frame. Apply this inside Adjust an Image today — the improvement is instant.
Avoid the traps
Three mistakes to avoid with Adjust an Image
✕
Text touching the edges
Copy crammed against the canvas edge feels accidental. Fix: give every text block breathing room — margins are free.
✕
Five fonts in one design
Every extra typeface dilutes the message. Fix: one family, up to three weights — restraint reads as confidence.
✕
Everything emphasized
Bold, color, size, and underline on the same words cancel each other out. Fix: pick one emphasis per element.
End to end
A complete Adjust an Image workflow
