Photos taken under artificial lighting often come out wrong-coloured: yellow under tungsten, green under fluorescents, blue under cloudy or shaded conditions. White balance correction shifts all colours so what should be white actually looks white.

Why white balance matters

Cameras estimate the colour temperature of the lighting and adjust to neutralise it — that's "auto white balance". When it gets it wrong (which is often, especially with mixed lighting), colours come out off. The fix is straightforward: identify the white reference in the scene and shift all colours so it's truly neutral.

This tool automates the identification — it finds areas in the photo that "should be" white or grey (walls, paper, eye whites, asphalt) and rebalances around them. Manual override available if the auto-pick is wrong.

Auto vs manual white balance

  • Auto: the default. Works on 80% of photos. Best for indoor shots, cloudy days, mixed lighting.
  • Pick a neutral: click on something in the photo that should be white or grey. The tool rebalances around your chosen point.
  • Manual temperature/tint: sliders. For users who know what they're doing.
  • Preset: daylight, tungsten, fluorescent, shade, cloudy. Match what the camera should have done.

Difference from full colour correction

White balance fixes the white-point. Color Correction fixes white-point + saturation + tone. Use white balance when only the colour cast is the issue; colour correction when the whole image needs lifting.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my photo look yellow indoors?

Tungsten/incandescent bulbs are warm (~2700K). Cameras sometimes don't compensate fully. White balance fixes it.

Why does shade look blue?

Indirect light from a blue sky has a high colour temperature (~7500K). Cameras compensate by adding warmth — sometimes not enough.

Will it ruin sunset photos?

Auto can over-correct sunsets. Use the 'preset: daylight' or skip white balance for stylistic warm-light shots.

Does it work on RAW?

Yes — wider corrective range available with RAW. JPG corrections are still effective for typical casts.

Maximum file size?

25 MB per file.

Can I batch process?

Yes — premium supports batches up to 100.

Will EXIF be preserved?

Yes by default.

Are files private?

Yes — deleted within 24 hours.
