What is photo vibrance adjustment?

Change image vibrance to boost muted colors while leaving skin and already-saturated pixels alone. Positive values help you add vibrance to photo files for a vibrant image look without the harshness of full saturation. The tool converts RGB to HSL, weights adjustment by current saturation, and softens changes on skin-tone hues. Color vibrance and how to change digital vibrance searches describe the same slider workflow. Processing runs entirely in your browser.

Technical details

How vibrance adjustment works.

  1. Algorithm: RGB → HSL, detect skin-tone hues, apply weighted S adjustment based on current saturation, convert back to RGB.
  2. Skin detection: Hue in orange range (0.02–0.12), moderate saturation (0.1–0.7) receives 50% less adjustment.
  3. Saturation weighting: Muted colors (low S) receive more adjustment than vivid colors (high S).
  4. Rendering: Canvas 2D getImageData / putImageData.
  5. Input limits: 15 MB; longest edge 8192 px.
  6. Browser support: Chromium, Firefox, Safari with Canvas 2D.
