Open the photo in an editor (Photoshop, Lightroom, Snapseed, etc.)
Reduce exposure or exposure compensation
Lower highlights
Reduce whites
Increase contrast only if needed after highlight recovery
Pull down the shadows only if overall tones become too flat
Adjust the tone curve to compress highlights (lift midtones only if needed)
Use highlight recovery / “Recover” controls (if available)
Apply a mask and adjust only the overexposed areas
Lower the brightness of the affected regions (local adjustment)
Decrease saturation or vibrance if colors look washed out
Correct white balance if the image looks too warm/cool after exposure changes
Use selective color adjustments to restore detail in blown channels
If using Photoshop: try Camera Raw Filter → Highlights/Whites/Exposure + Tone Curve
If using Photoshop: use blend modes or luminosity masks to protect highlights
Avoid pushing shadows too far after fixing highlights to prevent noise
Export at the highest quality setting and re-check on-screen and on a second device
