A layered editor with nothing to install

Photo Editor keeps every element, photos, paint strokes, text, shapes and fills, as separate layers with their own opacity, blend mode and non-destructive adjustments (including Levels with a live histogram), composited live with your browser's canvas engine. Select with marquee, lasso or magic wand (real marching ants), then paint, erase, clone-stamp, dodge & burn, flood-fill or pull gradients inside the selection. Transform with real handles, crop the whole document, jump around the History panel, then export a flattened PNG, JPG or WebP, or save the entire project as JSON and reopen it later with every layer intact. Completely free, completely private, works offline.

About Photo Editor

Photo Editor is a free, private image tool that runs entirely in your web browser. It is a full layer-based editor with blend modes, filters, brushes, text and transforms, like Photoshop but in your browser. Because everything happens locally on your device, your files and data are never uploaded to a server, there is no sign-up or installation required, and it keeps working offline. Like every free online tool by Digital Heroes, Photo Editor is 100% free with no limits.

What you can do

Edit photos in layers with blend modes, per-layer opacity and non-destructive adjustments.

Paint, erase and retouch with a soft brush, eraser, clone stamp and dodge/burn tools.

Select precisely using rectangle or ellipse marquee, freehand lasso, or magic wand with adjustable tolerance.

Add text and shapes with full font control, fill, stroke, corner radius and transform handles.

Apply pixel filters including Levels with a live histogram, Sharpen, Noise, Pixelate and Vignette.

Export as PNG, JPG or WebP and save the full layered project as JSON to reopen later.
