To adjust your image size, click the "Resize" option on the editing panel. Afterward, enter the desired width and height in pixels to ensure the image fits your exact specifications.

Adjust Color in Image

To fine-tune how your images look, the color adjustment tools let you easily control brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue. With these options, you can fix lighting issues, improve colors, and set the mood or style you want. In addition, you can adjust the blur level to create the right effect.
