# brighten.video - slug: `brighten-video` - url: https://brighten.video/ - tagline: Rescue dark, underexposed video in one click - categories: utilities, privacy-local - locales: en - founded_case: false - ownership_status: unclaimed - editorial_status: approved - verification_status (legacy): unverified - link_rel (ops): nofollow - created_at: 2026-11-11 - updated_at: 2026-11-11 ## Description Evening parties, dim kitchens and subjects standing against a bright window tend to come out murky. brighten.video looks at a few frames of the clip on your device, works out how dark it really is and sets the exposure so the middle tones land at a natural level, while very dark night clips still look like night rather than fake daylight. Exposure is applied in linear light, so lamps roll off on a soft shoulder instead of clipping, and edge-aware noise reduction calms the grain that lifting shadows reveals. Four quick fixes (Night video, Dim room, Backlit, Slightly dark) and a Strength slider cover most problems; More options adds exposure, midtones, contrast, shadows, highlights, blacks, whites, saturation and vibrance, with a histogram or waveform. Grading runs on the graphics chip inside the browser, the clip is never uploaded, and the saved MP4 or WebM carries no watermark. ## Links for agents - HTML: /p/brighten-video/ - Markdown: /p/brighten-video.md - JSON: /api/v1/listings/brighten-video.json
