Photo Editor Online Free

This is a focused free tool covering the 80% of edits people actually need: crop / rotate / flip / straighten, brightness / contrast / saturation / hue / blur, and a curated set of filter presets. Pintura is a paid commercial product with annotation, stickers, decorate, frames, and brush tools; Photoshop is a full retouching suite with layers, masks, and content-aware fill. If you need annotation or pixel-level retouching, those tools win, for everyday cropping and tonal correction, this finishes the job in seconds without an account or install.

JPG does not support transparency, any transparent pixel must be filled with a solid color at encode time. The editor fills with white because that is the most common expectation (matches the page background of most websites and documents). If you need to preserve transparency, export as PNG or WebP instead, both formats are fully alpha-aware.

The upload limit is 12 MB. Practically, the cropper handles images up to ~6000×6000 pixels comfortably on a modern laptop; beyond that, the canvas filter pipeline at export time becomes memory-bound. If your phone camera produces 50+ MP files, downscale them once first (use the Bulk Image Resizer tool) before fine-tuning here.

Yes, completely. cropper, the filter pipeline, and the export step all run as plain JavaScript inside your browser tab. Your image is loaded as a data URL into a `<canvas>` and processed locally. Open the Network tab in your browser dev tools while editing, you will see cropper loaded once from a public CDN and zero outbound requests carrying image bytes. Use it on confidential brand work, NDA mockups, or anything sensitive without worry.
