What this editor does — and does not do

The editor above is a complete, working tool, not a preview of one. It crops with exact ratios and numeric entry, adjusts exposure and colour through twelve controls, offers real curves with per-channel points, applies sixteen film-style looks, removes backgrounds with an open machine-learning model, redacts faces and plates, sets text and annotations as sharp vectors, and exports to JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF — including straight to an exact kilobyte target when a form demands one.

It deliberately is not Photoshop. There are no layer stacks, no PSD files, no brush engines, no generative fill. Those belong to deep creative work; this is built for the twenty jobs that make up nearly all everyday photo editing, done in under a minute each, with keyboard shortcuts, fifty steps of undo and a hold-to-compare key that shows the original for as long as you press it. If your job is one specific task — compressing to 200 KB, converting an iPhone photo, making a passport photo — the focused tools below do it with fewer decisions.

How "never uploaded" actually works

This site is static: the server that hands you the page can not receive images, because no code path posts one. Decoding, resizing, compressing, even neural-network inference all run inside your browser using WebAssembly and WebGPU/WebGL — the same technologies that run games and video calls locally. The claim is checkable in about twenty seconds, and we would rather you check than trust: open your browser's developer tools, watch the Network panel while you edit and export, and you will see requests only for the page's own code — never for your image. Or load a tool page, switch off your connection, and keep working.

The practical consequence is that the photos people are most nervous about — passport and visa photos, ID scans, medical letters, pictures of children — are exactly the photos this site is safest for. There is no account to breach, no retention policy to read, and nothing to delete afterwards, because nothing arrived anywhere.

Which tool do you actually need?

If a website or portal rejected your file for being too large, you want the image compressor — or, when the rule names an exact number, compress JPEG to KB, which hits targets like 200 KB on the nose. If the complaint is the format, the convert hub has one tool per direction: iPhone photos go through HEIC to JPG, screenshots destined for forms through PNG to JPG, and web images bound for performance budgets through image to WebP.

When the problem is dimensions, resize handles exact pixels and percentages, crop handles framing, and the social media presets know every platform's 2026 numbers — including Instagram's grid change. Official documents get their own measured treatment in passport photo maker and exam photo resizer. And before any photo leaves your hands, see what it knows about you, then strip it losslessly.

The seven tool families

Questions people ask

Is this photo editor really free?

Yes — every tool, at full resolution, with no signup, no watermark and no daily limits. The site is supported by ads on content pages, never inside the editor itself.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. There is no server to upload to — the site is static files, and every operation runs in your browser. You can watch the Network tab while editing, or go offline after the page loads: everything still works.

How can it remove backgrounds without a server?

It downloads an open-licensed neural network (about 44 MB, once) and runs it locally using your own processor or graphics hardware. The second use is instant and works offline.

What formats can I open?

JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF, BMP and SVG open natively, and iPhone HEIC photos are converted with a decoder that loads on demand. RAW camera files are the one family not supported.

Is there a file size or image size limit?

Images up to 50 megapixels (40 on iPhones and iPads, which cap memory harder) are supported. Batch tools accept up to 100 files or 500 MB per run.

Does it work on a phone?

Yes — the editor switches to a touch layout with a bottom toolbar, pinch-zoom and thumb-sized controls, and the single-purpose tools are one-hand friendly by design.

Can I use it for passport or exam photos?

That is one of its strongest areas: the ID tools measure your photo against published government specs — head height in millimetres, background colour, file-size windows — instead of just cropping blindly.

What happens to my photo when I close the tab?

It is gone. Nothing is stored — no history, no cloud copies, no "recent files". The only thing this site remembers is your light/dark theme choice.
