Online Photo Editor — Free Photo Editor and AI Image Editor

Yes. Standard editing and downloads are free without signup and without watermark. Sign in optionally to sync editable work to your account. Instant adjustments, text and shapes run locally; paid assets, export formats and AI actions follow their displayed access limits. Saved Photo Editor uploads and designs stay private in your account without automatic expiration while active. Temporary processing files follow the separate Security policy.

It works as a general picture editor for any raster image — phone photos, screenshots, scanned pictures, product shots and graphics. Crop and resize, adjust brightness, contrast and color, apply effects, remove the background, then add text, shapes or a new background behind your subject.

Live filters and adjustments, advanced photo effects, AI background removal and upscaling, plus text with fonts, gradients, shadows and outlines, shapes, 2,400+ vector icons, 1,800+ animated elements and adaptive frames. Multi-select, align, group and layer your elements with full undo / redo, then export to PNG, JPG, PDF or SVG.

Yes. Drop a photo onto the canvas and it gets the full photo toolset (filters, effects and AI), while the same canvas gives you Canva-style design tools — text, shapes, icons, animations, gradients, frames and 6,000+ in-editor templates. Editing and layout happen together on one page instead of switching between two separate apps.

These five sliders in the Adjust tab apply instant, non-destructive changes to the selected photo: Brightness lightens or darkens it, Contrast controls the gap between light and dark areas, Saturation makes colors more or less vivid, Hue rotates every color around the color wheel, and Blur softens detail. They update live on the canvas and can be reset or replaced anytime with a one-click preset like Vivid, Fade, Vintage or B&W.

Adjust applies instant, free client-side tweaks (brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, blur, plus toggles like grayscale, sepia, invert, solarize and emboss) that update in real time with no upload. The Effects tab instead offers more than 100 artistic, more processing-heavy looks — cinematic grades, vintage film, watercolor and more — run on our servers with an intensity slider.

Select the photo on the canvas, open the AI tab, and pick Remove Background, Upscale 2x, Upscale 4x or Colorize. The image is sent to our AI servers, processed, and the result is swapped back into your design automatically, so you can keep building text, shapes and layout around it on the same canvas.

Open the Background tab: click one of the quick-swatch colors, pick a fully custom color, or switch to the gradient option to blend two colors behind your design. This changes the whole canvas backdrop, separate from any border or shape background color.

Select the photo, apply the Vintage preset in the Adjust panel (sepia tone, reduced contrast and light grain), then add a Poster or Retro look from the Effects tab for a printed-poster texture. Finish with a warm gradient Background and a bold layer from the Text tab, then export as PNG or PDF once it looks right.

Select a text box and the floating toolbar lets you change its font (about 70 fonts, from web-safe faces to a catalog of open-source fonts), size, bold/italic and left/center/right alignment. Click the sparkle icon for Text Effects to curve the text along an arc, add a drop shadow with its own color, blur and X/Y offset, or add a colored outline with an adjustable width — combine curve with a heavy outline for a badge or logo-style wordmark.

Select a shape or text object and click the Blend icon in the floating toolbar, or open the Background tab for the canvas itself, to open the gradient editor. Choose linear or radial, drag the angle slider, and add, remove or drag color stops along the gradient bar — or pick one of the built-in two-color presets for a quick brand-colored fill.

The Start screen and the Size tab both offer ready-made presets — Instagram Post, Instagram Story, Facebook Post, Twitter/X Post, YouTube Thumbnail, Presentation 16:9, A4 Document, Logo, Poster and Business Card — or you can type a fully custom width and height from 16 to 8000px. Changing size later in the Size tab resizes the whole canvas without leaving the editor.

This style switcher in the Elements tab restyles any shape or single-color icon before you add it: Outline gives a thin stroked line, Black fills it solid black, Flat fills it with a solid brand color, Gradient adds a two-tone diagonal gradient fill, Lineal color combines a soft fill with a bold outline, and Hand drawn gives a looser sketched stroke. Switching styles updates every icon preview live so you can match a whole design's look before inserting anything.

You can browse all template previews and open templates marked Free without a paid plan. Templates containing premium illustrations require an active paid plan or paid pass. Sign in free to insert free illustrations, icons and animations; premium illustration poses require paid access. Your design is saved locally while you work, and the editor shows the access requirement before you use paid artwork.

Select two or more objects (shift-click or drag a marquee) to reveal a floating toolbar with six alignment buttons (left, center, right, top, middle, bottom), horizontal/vertical distribute for three or more objects to space them evenly, and group/ungroup so a whole set moves and resizes as one unit. You can also nudge any selection one pixel at a time with the arrow keys, or 10px at a time holding Shift.

Standard editing and downloads are free to use, with no signup required and without watermark. Sign in optionally to keep editable designs in your account. Paid assets, export formats and AI actions follow the access limits displayed in the editor.

Select a multi-color graphic from the premium icon library and the floating object toolbar shows one color swatch per layer instead of a single fill color, so you can recolor each part of the icon independently — for example an icon's outline and its inner shape separately. If you want the original colors back, click the reset (circular arrow) button next to the swatches to restore every layer to how it looked when inserted.

The editor saves a recovery copy in this browser as you work. When signed in, it also syncs your editable design to your private account. Wait for 'Saved to your account' before closing the tab or switching devices. Offline changes need to reconnect and finish syncing first; changes made immediately before closing can be lost. Guest designs stay on this device and can be lost if browser data is cleared. Your account gallery includes rename, duplicate, Trash and restore controls.

Yes. Sign in to the same account and open Your account designs, or choose an image from Your account uploads in the Uploads tab. Saved designs keep their editable layers, pages and image settings, not just a flattened preview. Upload once, then keep working without emailing files to yourself.

Active account uploads and designs have no automatic expiration. A storage limit or plan downgrade does not delete existing work, but can stop new saves that need more space. Trash items can be restored for 30 days. Removing a library image does not break designs that still use it. Account deletion removes the workspace too. Ordinary temporary tool results still follow the separate 24-hour policy.

A newer cloud save is not silently overwritten. The editor shows a conflict and lets you save your local changes as a separate design or open the latest account version. When a design is synced, Version history also offers the five previous saves for recovery. This recovery history is not an independent backup.

Almost always one of three things. The file is over the 20 MB free upload limit — Premium takes 50 MB and Pro 120 MB. The format is not one this tool accepts, so check the list shown on the upload panel. Or the file is not really the format its name says: renaming a file does not change what is inside it, and that is the reason a valid-looking image gets refused.

Cropping, rotating, resizing and framing keep your original pixels — quality loss almost always comes from somewhere else. The two usual causes are enlarging a small image past the resolution it actually has, and re-saving a JPG over and over, because each save throws away a little more. Start from the largest original you still have, and export PNG when the image contains text, screenshots or flat color.

Online Photo Editor supports free standard use within the published processing allowances. Free downloads are clean — no watermark. No signup is required for standard tool use. Photo effects and AI edits have a web-size limit on Free, with the original-resolution result available through Premium or one credit. Crop, resize, rotate, compress and convert stay full size. Published processing allowances and file limits still apply.

No — Online Photo Editor runs in the browser on desktop and phone. There is nothing to install, no trial to start, and no license to buy before you can see whether it does what you need. Try it on the file you are actually stuck with rather than a sample.

Yes. Select a photo, open AI Tools and choose Auto Enhance, which improves light, color, detail and noise in one action. A free result is web-size and Premium unlocks a larger one. Review it at full zoom, then fine-tune it with the Adjust sliders or undo it if you prefer the original.

Yes. Looks under Adjust are one-click presets that set the sliders for you, and you can keep adjusting afterward. The Effects tab adds searchable styles, each with a sample image, that you apply with one button. The editor does not import preset files from other apps.

Downloads use your canvas size, and large photos are reduced to a working size when they open. Standard 1× downloads are free; scaled 2× to 8× downloads are a Premium option. AI actions follow their own limits, and a free 2× upscale gives a web-size result.

Select the photo, open Adjust and pick the B&W look under Looks, or switch on Grayscale under Creative. Contrast and Tone curve then shape the tones. If you only need that one conversion, the Black & White Image Converter has a single Intensity slider and a Batch option.

You can make a blurry photo look sharper, but not recover detail the camera never captured. In Adjust, raise Sharpen or Clarity and use Noise reduction; in AI Tools, try Auto Enhance or Upscale 2×. Heavy motion blur or missed focus usually stays soft.

Yes, with Batch apply, which lets you bulk edit images by copying the Adjust settings of the selected photo to a folder of photos and returning one ZIP. It needs Premium. It carries light, color, tone curve, color mix, detail and perspective settings, but not AI edits, masks, crops or layout, so there are no AI batch photo editing tools here.

AI Tools includes a Passport Photo action with a Passport standard menu, which applies the size, crop, head position and background rules for the country you choose. The Passport Resize tool is the dedicated option. Official requirements decide whether a photo is accepted, so check the issuing authority's rules before you submit.

Yes. This one opens in a browser on a computer, an iPhone or an Android phone, so there is no photo editing software to download or install. On a phone, choose Upload an image, pick a photo, then use Adjust, Effects, Text and AI Tools. Auto Enhance, Remove Background, Blemish Remover, Natural Face Retouch, Upscale 2× and AI Colorize are not Premium-only, and a free result is web-size. Upscale 4×, SVG and GIF exports and 2× to 8× downloads are Premium options.

Yes. Select the photo, choose Remove Background in AI Tools, then open the Background tab and put a solid color, a gradient or a library design behind the cutout. Remove Background is not Premium-only, and a free result is web-size. Check hair and fine edges before you download.

Select a photo, open AI Tools and pick an action such as Auto Enhance, Remove Background or Blemish Remover, or describe the change under Tell AI what to change. Review the plan, apply it, then check faces and edges at full zoom. Each result is saved as a version in the Edit stack, so you can go back.

Yes, as a self-serve editor. Open Workflows, choose Real estate, then use the listed AI edits to stage a room, replace a sky, remove distractions or widen the scene, and Adjust to straighten and balance light. It is software, so no person edits your photos for you; review each result and follow your listing site's rules.

Yes. Choose the Product & commerce workflow for a 2000 × 2000 px canvas, remove or replace backgrounds, add text or shapes, then open Listing check before you export. Batch apply, a Premium option, copies Adjust settings across a folder of product photos. Workflow sizes are starting points, so confirm each marketplace's rules.

Yes. Open Elements, choose Frames & Borders and place a frame around a photo, then keep adjusting the photo with Adjust, Effects and Text. Inserting a frame needs a signed-in account. For a quick Polaroid, solid or gradient border without the full editor, use the Add Border tool.
