White balance an image online, without uploading it
Cancel out the orange cast of indoor bulbs, the green of fluorescent tubes or the blue of open shade. Pick the lighting your photo was shot under, or move the temperature and tint sliders yourself — it all runs in your own browser, so the photo is never sent to a server.

How to fix white balance
Drop your photo in
It decodes on your device. The original and the corrected version sit one toggle apart, so you can judge the change instead of guessing it.
Pick the lighting, or move the sliders
Tungsten, fluorescent, shade and the rest each cancel one typical cast. Auto measures your own photo. Temperature and tint stay editable afterwards.
Download the corrected image
Pixel dimensions never change. Keep the original format, or export as JPG, PNG or WebP.
Which preset fixes which light
Every preset below is one click in the tool. The numbers are the temperature and tint offsets it applies — a starting point, not a final answer.
| Lighting | What it fixes | Adjustment | Use this preset |
|---|---|---|---|
Automatic Auto | Averages the whole image and assumes that average should be neutral grey. Useful on a mixed scene, unreliable when one strong colour fills the frame. | Measured from your image | |
Indoor light Tungsten | The heavy orange cast of ordinary incandescent bulbs — the classic yellow living-room photo. | Temperature -55 · Tint 0 | |
Indoor light Fluorescent | The green cast of fluorescent tubes, common in offices, garages and older shop lighting. | Temperature -15 · Tint +35 | |
Indoor light Candlelight | A very deep orange cast from candles or a dimmed warm bulb. The strongest cooling correction here. | Temperature -70 · Tint +10 | |
Indoor light Flash | The slightly cold, flat look of direct on-camera flash. | Temperature +15 · Tint +5 | |
Daylight Daylight | Almost nothing — a small warm nudge for photos shot in clean midday sun that look a touch lifeless. | Temperature +10 · Tint 0 | |
Daylight Cloudy | The soft blue cast of an overcast sky. | Temperature +20 · Tint +5 | |
Daylight Shade | The stronger blue cast of open shade, where the subject is lit by blue sky rather than by the sun. | Temperature +30 · Tint +5 |

What a colour cast looks like
A cast is one colour laid over the whole photo. On a product shot it is easiest to spot on the parts you know are white or grey — packaging, paper, a plain backdrop.
CastCorrected Orange cast — indoor bulbs
White packaging turns cream and greys turn brown. Household bulbs are far warmer than daylight, and a phone camera rarely compensates all the way.
Start with Tungsten, then ease the temperature back up if wood or skin goes grey.
CastCorrected Green cast — fluorescent tubes
Whites turn slightly sickly and greys pick up a green edge. This is a tint problem rather than a temperature one, so cooling the photo alone will not fix it.
Start with Fluorescent, then fine-tune the tint slider towards magenta.
CastCorrected Blue cast — shade and overcast
Whites turn grey-blue and the whole photo looks cold, because the subject is lit by blue sky instead of direct sun.
Start with Shade for open shade, or Cloudy for a lighter cast.
Temperature and tint, explained
Temperature runs along the blue–yellow axis. Warmer adds red and removes blue; cooler does the opposite. It is the axis that fixes indoor bulbs and blue shade.
Tint runs along the green–magenta axis, the second axis every camera and raw editor exposes. It is what corrects fluorescent lighting, and no amount of temperature will do that job for you.
White balance only moves colour. If the photo is also too dark or too flat, that is a separate fix — brightness and contrast handles it, and doing that first often makes the remaining cast easier to judge.
A marketplace that demands a pure white background wants pixels that really are white. Correcting the cast gets you closer, but replacing the background is the reliable way to get there.
Formats and limits
- Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, SVG, AVIF, HEIC. Output: the original format, or JPEG, PNG or WebP.
- Files up to 100 MB. Very large photos still process, but each slider change takes longer.
- Animated GIFs and SVGs export as a single static frame, rendered as PNG.
- Corrections are applied to 8-bit pixels, so an extreme move can leave faint banding in smooth gradients such as a sky or a soft backdrop.
White balance FAQ
Is my image uploaded to a server?
No. The photo is decoded and corrected by your browser. It never leaves your device, and there is no copy to delete afterwards.
How do I remove the yellow tint from an indoor photo?
Load the photo and pick Tungsten, which cools it by cancelling the orange of incandescent bulbs. If the result then looks too blue, drag the temperature slider back towards warm a few points at a time, watching a part of the image you know is white.
What do the presets do?
Each preset applies a fixed temperature and tint offset chosen to cancel one typical cast: Tungsten adds blue against warm bulbs, Fluorescent adds magenta against green tubes, Shade adds warmth against blue sky. They are starting points — both sliders stay editable.
How does Auto white balance decide?
It averages every pixel and assumes that average should be neutral grey, then shifts temperature and tint until it is. That works well on a mixed scene and badly when one strong colour dominates the frame — a red product on a red backdrop pushes Auto in the wrong direction.
Will this give me objectively correct colour?
No tool can, without a reference. Accurate colour needs a grey card or a colour chart shot under the same light. What this does is remove an obvious cast so the photo looks like what you saw — always compare the result against the real product before you list it.
What image formats are supported?
Input: JPEG, PNG, WebP, TIFF, GIF, BMP, SVG, AVIF, HEIC. The output keeps the original format when the browser can encode it. For formats without encode support (HEIC, HEIF, animated GIF) it falls back to PNG, and you can always pick JPEG, PNG or WebP yourself.
Does the correction reduce image quality?
Pixel dimensions never change and the correction is a single pass, so the loss is minimal. Re-encoding to JPEG is lossy, though — if more editing is coming, export PNG or WebP and compress at the end.
Does this work on mobile?
Yes, on every modern mobile browser. A large photo takes longer per adjustment, because the whole image is recalculated on your device.
