Online Image Editor

A full photo editor that runs in your browser

This free online image editor lets you crop, resize, retouch and design with your photos without installing anything and without uploading your files. Open a photo, fix its colors, add text, shapes, stickers and drawings, cut out the background, then download a PNG, JPG or WebP. It’s built for thumbnails, social posts, product photos and quick fixes, and there’s no watermark and no sign-up.

Everything is processed on your own device. Your photos never leave your computer or phone, which also means there’s no waiting for uploads.

How to edit a photo

1. Open your photo. Drop it onto the page, click Open a photo, or paste it with Ctrl + V. You can also start from a Blank canvas in a ready-made size, or click Try a sample to explore.
2. Pick a tool on the left. Crop, Resize, Adjust, Filters, Effects, AI tools, Text, Elements, Draw and Blur each have their own tab, with every option laid out in the open.
3. Fine-tune on the right. Click anything on the picture to select it. Drag to move it, pull a corner to resize it, and use the panel on the right for its settings and layers.
4. Export. Click Export, choose PNG, JPG or WebP, set the quality and size, and download.

Can’t find something? Type what you want to do in the search box at the top, such as “remove background” or “make smaller”. It explains the steps and takes you to the option.

AI tools that run on your device

• Remove background: cut out the main subject in one click, whether it’s a person, a product, a game character or a logo, and get a transparent PNG.
• Remove a color: click a color on the photo and it turns transparent, with a tolerance slider. Ideal for logos, plain backgrounds and screenshots.
• Select an area: drag a box or draw an outline, then keep it, remove it, or let the AI cut out just what’s inside.
• Pick the subject yourself: click any object on the photo to keep only that.
• Blur background: a portrait look where the subject stays sharp.
• Black & white background: only the subject keeps its color.
• New background color: swap the background for any color.
• Fix by clicking: click a leftover piece to remove it, or a missing part to bring it back. Stray bits around the subject are dropped automatically.
• Edge size and Soft edge: trim a halo, keep a little more, or feather the edge of a cut-out.
• Erase / Restore brush: tidy the edges of a cut-out by hand, or rub out part of any photo.
• Blur faces: find every face in the picture and blur it.
• Auto enhance: fix brightness, contrast and color in one click.

The models download once, the first time you use them (about 44 MB for background removal, less for the others).

Crop, resize and canvas sizes

• Crop: drag the box on the picture, or lock it to 1:1, 4:5, 16:9, 9:16 and seven more shapes. Straighten a tilted horizon, rotate and flip.
• Resize: set an exact width and height in pixels or scale by percent, with or without keeping proportions.
• Canvas sizes: one click for an Instagram post or story, YouTube thumbnail or banner, Facebook cover, X header, LinkedIn banner, Pinterest pin and more. Choose whether the picture fills the canvas or fits inside it.
• Background and border: transparent, a color or a gradient, plus a border in any width and color.

Color, filters and effects

• Adjust: brightness, contrast, exposure, highlights, shadows, saturation, vibrance, warmth, tint, hue, sharpen, blur, fade, vignette and grain.
• Filters: 19 looks, including Vivid, Cinema, Film, Vintage, Sepia, B&W and Noir, each with a strength slider.
• Effects: pixelate, RGB split, posterize, duotone, halftone, scanlines, glow, sketch, tilt shift, mirror, stamp and invert.
• Hold Compare to see the photo before your changes.

Text, shapes, stickers and drawing

• Text: 14 ready-made styles and 16 fonts, with outline, gradient fill, background box, drop shadow, letter spacing and curved text.
• Elements: 16 shapes including arrows, speech bubbles, frames and badges, nearly 90 emoji stickers, and your own logo or watermark on top.
• Draw: pen, marker and highlighter in any color and size, with an eraser.
• Blur: blur, pixelate or cover a face, a name or a number plate.
• Layers: everything you add is a layer you can reorder, hide, lock, rename, duplicate, blend or merge.

Export the way you need it

Download as PNG (sharpest, keeps transparency), JPG (small files for photos) or WebP (smallest, keeps transparency). Set the quality, scale the picture from 25% to 300% or type exact pixels, and set a maximum file size such as 100 KB to have the quality lowered until the file fits. You can also copy the picture straight to the clipboard.

Need just one thing?

If you only need a quick fix, a single-purpose tool can be faster. Use the Photo Collage Maker to combine several photos, Add Logo to Photo to watermark a picture, or Open HEIC File to view iPhone photos. To edit clips, try the Online Video Editor.

Frequently asked questions

Is this image editor free?

Yes. It’s free, with no sign-up, no watermark on your pictures and no limit on how many you edit.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. The editor runs in your browser, and your photos stay on your device. Only the tool’s own files are downloaded, such as fonts and the small models used for background removal and face blur.

What formats can I open and save?

You can open the image files your browser can show, such as JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP, AVIF and SVG. You can save PNG, JPG or WebP, at any size from 25% to 300% of the canvas.

How do I remove the background from a photo?

Open the AI tools tab and click Remove background. The person or main subject is cut out and the rest becomes transparent. If something is left over or missing, turn on Fix by clicking and click it. For a plain background, Remove a color is often cleaner: click the background color and it’s gone. For a busy picture, use Select an area to drag a box around the subject and cut out what’s inside. Export as PNG to keep the transparency.

How do I resize an image to exact pixels?

Open the Resize tab, type the new width or height and click Resize. Turn off Keep proportions if you need both numbers to be exact. For social media sizes, pick one under Canvas size instead.

How do I make an image smaller than 100 KB?

Click Export, choose JPG or WebP and type 100 in Max file size. The quality is lowered, and the picture scaled down if needed, until the file fits.

Can I add text and stickers to a photo?

Yes. The Text tab has ready-made styles and fonts, and the Elements tab has shapes and emoji stickers. Click one to add it, drag it into place, and change its color, size and effects on the right.

Where are my projects saved?

Each picture is saved automatically as its own project in your browser on this device. Click Projects to open, switch or delete them. Clearing your browser data removes them, so export anything you want to keep.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes. The editor has a phone layout with the tools along the bottom. Very large photos are scaled down a little on phones so editing stays smooth.
