How to use Photo Editor

A photo editor that works on layers. Open a picture, then add more pictures, text, shapes, stickers or your own drawing on top. Adjust the light and colour, try an effect, hide parts of a picture with a mask, crop the canvas and save the result as PNG, JPG or WebP.

  1. Drop a picture onto the page, or start with a blank canvas.
  2. Use the tools on the left: Crop, Adjust, Effects, Text, Shapes, Stickers, Draw, Mask and Canvas. Add more pictures with Add picture.
  3. Drag a layer to move it, drag its corners to resize it and its round knob to turn it. Use the Layers list to reorder, hide, lock, copy or delete layers and to set opacity and blend modes.
  4. Choose a format and press Save, then download the result.

Frequently asked questions

Is the photo editor free?

Yes. You do not need an account. The free plan has a size limit per file and a few free uses a day on each tool.

How do I put one picture on top of another?

Use Add picture to bring in a second picture. It becomes its own layer that you can move, resize, turn, fade or mask.

What is a mask?

A mask hides part of a picture without deleting it. Cut a picture to a circle or star, soften the edge, or paint over the parts you want to hide and bring them back later.

Which format should I save as?

Use PNG when you need transparency or the sharpest result, JPG for photos with small files, and WebP for small files on the web.

Is Photo Editor free?

Yes, and you do not need an account. The free plan allows up to 20 MB and 5 files at a time, and 10 free uses a day. After that you can come back tomorrow or choose a plan. The paid plans (Plus and Pro) remove the wait and raise the file size limit to 250 MB and 500 MB.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Open the page and use it. There is nothing to install, and it works on phones, tablets and computers.

What if something goes wrong?

Open Support from the menu at the top of the page and tell us what happened. A use that fails is not counted against your limit.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in current versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on phones, tablets and computers. Very large files can be slow on older phones.
