Online photo editor

Online photo editor for real, layered work

Pixopea opens your photo in a full canvas editor inside the browser. Crop and straighten, correct colour, add text and shapes, then export a flattened image or keep every change on its own layer. No download, no plug-in and no account needed just to start.

Stays in your browser

Your file is opened locally. It is uploaded only if you save a cloud project or run an AI tool.

Edit without a desktop app

The editor is built around a real canvas and a layer stack, not a simplified filter preview. Open a photo from your device and it is processed locally; the file is not uploaded just to begin editing. Move between the desktop workspace and the touch layout on a phone or tablet without changing the project.

  • Crop, resize, rotate and flip with live handles
  • Brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, blur and sharpen
  • Text, shapes, selections and masks
  • Undo, redo and a history that stays usable

Adjustments you can revisit

Filters run on the pixels, and adjustment layers keep the settings editable. That means a colour change is not baked in the moment you apply it: return to the layer, change the amount or hide it, and the original photo is still underneath.

Export for the place it is going

Choose PNG for lossless images and transparency, JPG for photos and print, WebP for the web, or export a layered PSD for another editor. Pixopea project files keep the full layer stack and assets for a later session.

Common questions

Can I use the online photo editor without an account?

Yes. The guest editor at /try opens a local project, lets you edit and export, and keeps the draft in your browser. An account is needed for cloud saves, version history and AI tools.

Does editing upload my photo?

Not by itself. Opening and editing happen in the browser. A file is sent to the server only when you save a cloud project, upload an asset or run an AI job.

Which photo formats can I open?

PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG, PSD and Pixopea .ais projects. Animated GIF is not supported.
