Frequently Asked Questions
Is my image data safe and secure?
Yes, absolutely! All image processing happens directly in your browser using JavaScript. Your images are never uploaded to our servers or stored anywhere. The saturation adjustment is applied locally on your device, ensuring complete privacy and security.
What's the saturation adjustment range?
You can adjust saturation from -100% to +100%. At -100%, your image becomes completely desaturated (grayscale). At 0%, it remains unchanged. At +100%, colors are doubled in intensity for maximum vibrancy. Most adjustments work best between -50% and +50%.
Will the output image quality be reduced?
The output image maintains the same resolution and format as your original image. For JPEG images, we use high quality settings (80% quality) to preserve image detail. PNG images maintain lossless quality. Only HEIC and GIF files are converted to more compatible formats.
Can I adjust saturation for specific colors only?
This tool applies saturation adjustment to all colors in the image uniformly. For selective color adjustments (like enhancing only blues or reds), you would need specialized photo editing software. However, the uniform adjustment often produces excellent results for most photos.
Why do HEIC files take longer to process?
HEIC files (common on iPhones) need to be converted to JPEG format first since web browsers don't natively support HEIC. This conversion process takes a few extra seconds but ensures compatibility and allows you to work with iPhone photos seamlessly.
Does this work on mobile devices?
Yes! The saturation tool is fully responsive and works perfectly on smartphones and tablets. The interface automatically adapts to smaller screens, and you can easily upload photos directly from your device's camera or photo library.
