Frequently asked questions

What does histogram equalization do?

It counts how often each brightness level appears, builds a cumulative distribution, then remaps pixel values so the distribution is as flat as possible — spreading tones that were bunched together into the full 0–255 range.

Is the equalize tool free?

Yes — completely free and unlimited. No signup, no account, no watermark, no daily limit.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. The equalization happens entirely in your browser on your device. Your image never leaves your computer, so it stays fully private.

When should I use equalize instead of contrast?

Use equalize when an image looks flat or washed out and you want a one-click automatic fix. Use the contrast slider when you want precise, manual control over how much contrast to add.
