## Overview

Easily enhance your photos with our Image Brightness Adjustment tool, designed to help you fix underexposed images or create artistic lighting effects with precise, real-time control.

## Inputs

- **Image File** (file): Upload any image file (JPEG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, TIFF) to adjust brightness
- **Brightness Level** (range): Brightness adjustment (-100 = darkest, 0 = original, 100 = brightest)
- **Output Format** (select): Choose output format or keep original. PNG recommended for maximum quality
- **Quality (1-100)** (number): Output quality for lossy formats (JPEG, WebP). Higher = better quality but larger file size

## When to use
