FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the selective lightness adjustment work?

Our tool allows you to isolate a specific rectangular area of your image using an interactive preview box or numerical coordinates. Once selected, you can adjust the lightness slider (above 100% to brighten, below 100% to darken) to apply local exposure corrections seamlessly.

Is my image data uploaded to any servers?

No, never. Image Studio runs entirely in your local web browser. All rendering, processing, and editing are executed on your device's CPU/GPU, ensuring your private photos remain secure on your computer.

How do I get precise control over the selected area?

You can drag and resize the visual selection box directly on your photo preview, or enter exact values for the top offset, left offset, width, and height in the control panel for pixel-perfect adjustments.

Are there any file size limits or usage restrictions?

No. Because all processing happens locally in your browser, we do not impose any file size limits, hourly rate caps, or premium paywalls. You can edit as many high-resolution images as you need.
