Pixelbin Shadow Remover

Pixelbin Shadow Remover lightens harsh shadows and dark patches and evens out uneven lighting, on faces, portraits and product shots. You type what you want done, such as removing harsh shadows from a face, and it adjusts those areas. You also set how much of the shadow comes off, from a full erase to a softer version. A before-and-after preview shows what changed.

It runs in the browser, and you can push a batch of photos through instead of one at a time. A few edits work with no account at all, and the vendor states downloads are watermark-free. The free plan holds three credits a month, and past that you pay by monthly or annual subscription, or a one-time pack.

Use Pixelbin Shadow Remover if:

• You have a portrait with a harsh shadow across the face and want it evened out without masking anything.
• You want to soften a shadow rather than erase it, since you set how much comes off.
• You have a product photo with a dark patch, since an even, flat light is what a listing photo usually needs.
• You have a shot that is brighter on one side than the other and want the lighting balanced across the frame.
• You have several photos to fix, because it processes them as a batch rather than one at a time.
• You want to see the change before committing, as it shows a before-and-after preview.

Skip Pixelbin Shadow Remover if any of these describe you:

• You want to paint the change onto an exact area. You describe the change in words here, and Adobe Photoshop gives you a brush and a mask.
• The shadow completely hides detail, like a face in deep shade. The AI has to invent what was underneath, so the result can look made up.
• You need to fix many photos every month for free. The free plan holds three credits a month, and batch runs spend them faster.
• You want to compare other options first. Browse the shadow removers category.
