About Photo Editor

The online photo editor brings the site's picture tools and image converters into one window, so there is no uploading and downloading between pages. The sections are on the left: Crop (free, social media sizes, turn, mirror, straighten, round and other shapes), Size (pixels, a canvas round it, DPI, and free transform by dragging), Adjust (one-tap fix, exposure, levels, hue, temperature, clarity and more), Filters (each shown on your picture, pure black and white and invert among them), Cut out (tap a colour to take the background away, an eraser and a restore brush for the edges, an outline drawn round the subject, and white, a colour, a blur or another picture behind it), Mend (a mending brush and a box that fill a watermark, a date or a small thing from what is round it, and a clone brush), Text, Marks, Layers (pictures, logos, QR codes and stickers, hidden or moved up as you like), Redact, Watermark, Border, ID photo, Combine (a collage, one long picture, an animated GIF, a PDF) and Smart (the text and QR codes in a picture read, and AI tools).

Nothing is baked in: the strip at the foot lists every step, to reopen or remove, with undo, redo and a history; hold Compare to see the original. The colour picker takes a colour from the picture and shows its main colours, and every colour row can take one from the picture too. The keyboard shortcuts people know from desktop editors work: Ctrl+Z to undo, Ctrl+Alt+T for free transform, C crop, T text, W tap to remove, E eraser, J mending brush, I colour picker, [ and ] for the brush size, and the space bar held to move the view; press ? for all of them. Exporting is converting: JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO or PDF, and for JPG, PNG and WebP a limit such as "at most 200 KB", met at the best quality that fits. It can also write the DPI, cut the picture into a grid, make a website's icons or Base64 code. Several pictures can be edited together, one's steps applied to the rest, all saved in a ZIP. Apart from what says so first (AVIF, reading text and QR codes, finding numbers, the AI tools), everything happens in your browser.

FAQ

Photo Editor: questions and answers

Is this photo editor free?
Yes. Editing and exporting happen in your browser, with no account, no daily limit, no watermark and no cap on resolution. Only AVIF, reading text and QR codes, automatic number finding and the AI tools use the site's server, and they say so first.
Are my pictures uploaded?
Usually not. Cropping, colour, cutting out, mending, text, redaction, watermarks, collages and most formats are all done on your device. Opening formats the browser can't read (such as HEIC), saving as AVIF, reading text and QR codes, automatic number finding and the AI tools need an upload; they tell you first, the file travels over HTTPS and is deleted within an hour.
Can I cut out a picture and change its background?
Yes. In Cut out, tap the background and that colour goes; refine with the eraser and the restore brush, or draw round the subject. What was taken away can stay see-through (save as PNG or WebP) or show white, another colour, the original blurred or another picture. Hair and busy backgrounds suit the AI cut-out.
How do I remove a watermark or a date?
In Mend, brush over it or draw a box round it, and it is filled from what is round it; this suits plain, graded or lightly textured backgrounds. The clone brush copies a patch from beside it. Please only edit pictures you have the right to edit.
How do I get a photo under 200 KB?
Click Export, choose JPG, PNG or WebP, and pick "≤ 200 KB" under File size, or type your own limit. The editor uses the best quality that fits, and only if even a low quality is too big does it make the picture a little smaller, telling you the new size. If a form also asks for a minimum size, fill in "At least".
Can I convert a picture to another format?
Yes, choosing the format when exporting is the conversion — JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP, TIFF, ICO and PDF. An ICO can hold several sizes from 16 to 256 pixels, and a website's full set of icons can be made in one go.
Are there keyboard shortcuts?
Yes. Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y to undo and redo, Ctrl+S to download, Ctrl+Alt+T for free transform (Ctrl+T too when the editor is in full screen), C crop, T text, W tap to remove, E eraser, J mending brush, I colour picker, [ and ] for the brush size, the space bar held to move the view. Press ? to see them all.
Can I change the background of an ID photo?
Yes. In ID photo, choose the size, then a white, blue, red or custom backdrop. This works for photos taken against a plain wall; for a busy background, cut the person out first. Always check the form's own requirements.
Can I edit several pictures at once?
Yes. Open several and make a collage, a long picture, a GIF or a PDF in Combine; or edit one, use Apply to all to copy its steps, and Export all pictures as a ZIP.
What if I close the page halfway?
Changes not exported yet are kept as a draft in this browser, and you can carry on when you open the page again. The draft is cleared once you export.
