## What is Brighten A Dark Photo?

Introducing a powerful photo editing app that brightens dark photos naturally!
This app automatically brightens dark photos with just one tap.
It can also tone down photos that are too bright.

Even dim indoor and night photos can become clearer and easier to see with a single tap.
Photos with backlit faces or heavy shadows are corrected for better visibility.
If you have photos like these, give this app a try.

【How to Use】
1. Tap "Select Image" to choose a photo.
2. Tap "Preview" to apply brightness adjustments.
3. Tap "Save as PNG" or "Save as JPEG" to save the photo in your preferred format.
To check the original image or preview, tap the "Zoom" button at the top right. To close the viewer, tap the "×" button at the top right and return to the main screen.

Note: There is also a paid, ad-free PRO version. There are no functional differences between the free version and the paid (PRO) version.
