Frequently Asked Questions

Why do my photos look worse when printed?

Screens are backlit and printers are not, so prints can look darker and flatter. Balancing contrast and a small brightness lift before printing usually brings the result closer to what you see on screen.

Does enhancing change the resolution for printing?

No. Enhancing adjusts exposure, contrast, and crispness — it does not change the pixel dimensions. If your photo is below your print’s DPI target, upscale it first, then enhance.

Is the print photo enhancer free?

Yes. It is free and unlimited with no signup, no credits, and no watermark, and the full-resolution result downloads directly so it is ready for the lab.
