How to use the image editor
To get started, drag your photo into the upload area or click it to choose a file from your computer or phone. The tool accepts JPG, PNG, WebP and BMP images, and all processing happens locally, right in your browser — no file is ever sent to external servers, which guarantees full privacy even for personal or client photos.
As soon as the image loads, it appears in a preview canvas next to the editing controls. Use the brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, blur and opacity sliders to adjust the image in real time, and choose from the ready-made filters — black & white, sepia, invert, vintage or vivid — for an instant effect in one click. The "Reset adjustments" button restores everything to its original state at any time.
To customize the photo's look, round the corners with the corresponding slider and add a colored border with whatever thickness you prefer — both effects combine automatically. If you need to remove an unwanted detail, enable the eraser, choose the size and shape (round or square), and erase the area directly on the canvas. — whatever the eraser removes reveals the background. The Background group starts with Transparent background ticked: in that state the checkerboard behind the image shows where there are no pixels, and the exported PNG or WebP really comes out with no background. Untick it to pick a solid colour, which follows the rounded corners and shows through the erased areas.
The tool also lets you decorate the image with independent layers: click "Shape" to choose from more than fifteen geometric shapes and arrows, "Emoji" to insert emojis, or "Text" to write with fonts, colors and effects like shadow, outline, 3D, neon and gradient. Each layer can be dragged, resized with the corner handles, rotated with the green handle, and reordered or removed in the layers list — with no limit on how many you add.
Once the result looks the way you want, choose the output format — PNG to keep transparency and maximum quality, or JPG for a lighter file — and click "Download image". The download is generated instantly, right in the browser, with no waiting, no processing queue, and no watermark added to the final result. WebP is also available in the selector, which already matches the format of the image you loaded; BMP images fall back to PNG, the safe output format. Remember that JPG has no alpha channel: with a transparent background it comes out white.
Frequently asked questions
How do I export the image with no background, or with a background colour?
The "Background" group in the controls column starts with "Transparent background" ticked — just download as PNG or WebP and the file comes out with no background, keeping the transparency of the original image. The checkerboard behind the preview shows exactly which areas have no pixels. For a solid background, untick the option and pick the colour in the selector: it is painted behind the image, follows the rounded corners and also shows in the areas you erased. JPG is the only exception, because the format has no alpha channel: if the background is transparent, the file comes out with a white background.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All processing happens directly in your browser using HTML5 Canvas. Your images are never uploaded to any server.
Which image formats are supported?
The tool accepts JPG, PNG and WebP as input, and lets you download the result as PNG or JPG.
Does this tool work on mobile?
Yes. The editor works in any modern browser, on desktop, phone or tablet.
How should I adjust brightness and contrast for e-commerce product photos?
Increase brightness by 10 to 20 points and contrast by 15 to 25 points to highlight detail against a neutral background. Raise saturation by around 10 points for livelier colors without distorting the product's real tone. Avoid adjustments above 40 points, since customers may feel misled if the delivered product looks different from the photo.
What's the difference between the sepia, vintage and black & white filters?
Black & white removes all color saturation, keeping only shades of gray. Sepia applies the classic brownish tone of old photographs. Vintage combines light desaturation, reduced contrast and a warmer tone, resembling analog photography from the 1970s and 1980s.
Can I recover detail from a dark (underexposed) photo with these controls?
Yes, partially. Raising brightness by 20 to 40 points combined with contrast of 10 to 15 points reveals detail hidden in the shadows. On very dark photos this can also reveal digital noise, since the tool adjusts existing pixels rather than reconstructing information lost during the original capture.
How do I add a border with rounded corners, like a frame?
Set the "Round corners" slider between 15 and 30 for a subtle effect, or close to 50 to make the image nearly circular. Then set the border thickness between 8 and 16px and pick a color that contrasts with the background where the image will be published. Both effects apply together, and the border automatically follows the rounded corners.
How do I add text with a neon or 3D effect for thumbnails and posts?
Click "Add text", type your content, and select the "Neon" or "3D" effect in the effects panel. For neon, use vibrant colors like green or blue with an intensity between 15 and 30. For the 3D effect, a depth of 6 to 12px with a shadow color much darker than the main color creates a sense of volume. Drag the text to position it and use the rotation handle to tilt it if needed.
When should I use the eraser instead of cropping the image?
The eraser is ideal for removing specific details — like an object in the corner, a small watermark, or part of a background — without changing the photo's dimensions. Cropping is better when you want to change the aspect ratio or focus on a specific area. Use the round shape to erase organic areas and the square shape for straight edges and corners.
Can I add multiple shapes, emojis and text blocks to the same image?
Yes. Each shape, emoji or text block you add becomes an independent layer, listed in the side panel. Click a layer to select it, drag it on the canvas to reposition it, use the arrow buttons to bring it forward or send it backward, and the ✕ to remove it. There's no limit on layers, so you can combine as many elements as you like in the same project.
