About Image Editor
This free online image editor brings together the most common image editing tasks in a single, fully browser-based tool. You can adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, hue rotation, and blur using live preview sliders - no destructive changes until you choose to apply. One-click filter presets like Grayscale, Sepia, Vivid, Fade, Cold, Warm, and Matte let you stylize images instantly. The crop tool supports free-form selection and preset aspect ratios (1:1, 4:3, 16:9, 3:2) with a rule-of-thirds overlay. Rotation supports 90° clockwise and counter-clockwise steps, plus horizontal and vertical flip. The built-in AI background remover uses the same ONNX-based model as the standalone BG Remover tool - running entirely in your browser with no uploads. A full undo/redo history lets you experiment without fear of losing your original. Export in PNG (lossless), JPEG, or WebP with a configurable quality slider. Nothing ever leaves your device.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Does this tool upload my images to a server?
- No. Every operation - adjustments, filters, crop, rotate, background removal, and export - runs entirely in your browser using the Canvas API and WebAssembly. Your images never leave your device.
- What is the difference between applying adjustments and just previewing them?
- While you move the sliders, the adjustments are applied as a live CSS filter preview - your original image data is untouched. Clicking Apply bakes the adjustments into the image and adds a new entry to the undo history. On export, any unapplied adjustments are automatically baked into the downloaded file.
- Can I undo my edits?
- Yes. Every destructive action (apply adjustments, crop, rotate, flip, background removal) adds a snapshot to the history. Use the Undo and Redo buttons in the top bar to move through up to 20 steps. The Reset button reverts the image to the original file you uploaded.
- What export formats are supported?
- You can export as PNG (lossless, supports transparency), JPEG (best for photos, smaller file size), or WebP (modern format, good quality at small sizes). JPEG and WebP include a quality slider from 10% to 100%.
- How does the background removal work in the editor?
- The BG Remove tab uses the same AI model (@imgly/background-removal with the ISNet model) as the standalone Background Remover tool. It runs via ONNX Runtime WebAssembly entirely in your browser. The first run downloads the model files (~30 MB), which are then cached so subsequent uses are instant.
