Online Photo Editor

How to use Online Photo Editor

1. Choose a photo or drop it on the page. JPG, PNG, WebP, GIF, BMP and AVIF files work.
2. Pick a filter, or open Adjust and Effects and move the sliders. Hold the Hold to compare button to see the original.
3. Use Rotate to turn, flip or straighten the photo, and Crop to cut it to a shape such as 1:1, 4:3 or 16:9.
4. Choose JPG, PNG or WebP, set the quality and size, check the output pixel size and press Download photo.

How the editing works

The editor keeps your original photo in memory and shows a reduced copy, up to 1200 pixels on the long side, while you work. Each adjustment is calculated pixel by pixel with plain arithmetic, so the result looks the same in every browser.

When you download, the same steps are applied to the full-size photo. Rotating, flipping, straightening and cropping are applied first, then exposure, brightness, contrast, colour, blur, sharpening and the vignette.

What each control does

• Brightness lightens or darkens everything, while Exposure and Gamma change the highlights and midtones.
• Contrast widens or narrows the gap between light and dark. Saturation changes colour strength.
• Warmth moves the colour toward orange or blue. Tint moves it toward magenta or green.
• Sharpen adds edge detail. Blur softens the picture. Vignette darkens the corners.
• Black and white amount and Sepia amount mix toward a mono or brown tone instead of switching all at once.

Tips for better results

• Fix the crop and angle first, then adjust light, then colour.
• Make small changes. Strong sliders can bring out noise or flatten detail.
• Use Hold to compare often so you do not over-edit.
• Choose JPG at 85 to 92 percent for photos, PNG for graphics or screenshots, and WebP for smaller web images.
• Keep your original file. The edited photo is saved as a new file.

Limits

Photos up to 40 megapixels can be opened. Everything is processed in your browser, and nothing is uploaded, so very large photos on older phones may run out of memory; use a smaller output size if that happens. Sharpen uses a simple 3 by 3 filter, so its effect looks a little softer on very large photos. This is a quick editor and does not offer layers, text, brushes, red-eye removal or selective edits. Edits are not saved if you close the page, so download your result first.

Why use this online photo editor tool

• Instant sliders. Sliders work on a reduced preview so they respond straight away. The download is processed at full resolution so you keep the detail.
• Filters and fine controls. Eight one-tap filters with live thumbnails, plus brightness, contrast, exposure, gamma, saturation, warmth, tint, sharpen, blur, vignette, black and white and sepia.
• Rotate, straighten and crop. Turn by 90 degrees, flip, straighten up to 15 degrees either way, and crop with a draggable box and common shapes.
• Undo, compare and no watermark. Every step is kept in a history you can undo, redo or jump back through. The photo is never uploaded and the result has no watermark.
