Even if the brightness on my phone is all the way up my background is still dark. Sometimes I change it to a differeent pic and its bright, but the pic I want it to be as my background it's always dark

Try editing the pic using the brightness setting in the stock editing screen

Apple darkens the screen intentionally. This is so the time and date show up on the lock screen and so apps get a pop effect. It's one reason I prefer dark wallpapers.
