Why use it

What this free tool does

Brightness

Lighten or darken everything.

Contrast

Make faded documents crisp, or soften harsh ones.

Saturation

Mute or intensify colours.

Pictures included

Photos and scans are adjusted too.

Sharp text

Text stays selectable.

Reset

Back to the original in one click.

Fixing faded and dark documents

Old photocopies and phone scans are often grey and low contrast. Raising contrast and brightness slightly makes them much easier to read and print.

Text, drawings and pictures are all adjusted. Smooth gradients may keep their original colours.

Tip: For scans, try contrast +30 and brightness +10 as a starting point.

Your files stay on your device

Most online PDF sites upload your documents to their servers. Aleynray Ai does the work inside your browser instead, on your own computer or phone.

Nothing is sent anywhere, so contracts, bank statements, IDs and medical forms stay private, and there is no waiting for uploads.
