All in.
All offline.

Bezier pen with curve handles, shape library, polygon, star, arrow.
Retouch arsenal
Brush, eraser, smudge, liquify, clone stamp, healing brush, bucket fill.
Up close
Every feature, in full.
A closer look at the tools you'll reach for every day — what each one does, and why it saves you time.
Vector
A genuine vector pen
Not just a shape picker — a real Bézier pen. Drop anchor points, drag out curve handles, round individual corners, and convert any shape into editable points with a double-click.
Auto contrast
Text that stays readable
Legibility, handled automatically. The editor samples the exact patch of background behind each letter and flips the fill light or dark so your copy does not disappear into a busy photo, a gradient, or a flat color.
Typography
Font pairing that just works
Pairing type is the hard part, so we did it for you. Get headline-and-body suggestions tuned to the mood of your image, with live previews before you commit — or let Auto match the fonts to your palette.
Liquify
Push pixels like clay
Nudge, twirl, pinch, and bloat with a pro-grade brush to retouch a portrait, exaggerate a shape, or reshape a product. Every liquify session auto-saves a backup layer, so you can step back to the untouched original if you push too far.
Retouch
Frequency separation in one click
Studio-grade retouching without the studio setup. Frequency separation splits your image into a smooth low-frequency tone layer and a crisp high-frequency detail layer, so you can even out skin and color without smearing texture.
What's inside

Deeper dives
The core tools, one by one.
What each part of the editor does and why it matters.
A browser-based photo editor that runs anywhere.
Full layered editing in the browser — no install, no account, nothing uploaded to a cloud.
- Runs in your browser — Open the editor and go.
- Your files stay local — Images are edited on your device and not uploaded — private by design.
- Cross-platform — Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook in the browser; installable as a desktop app.
A photo editor with real layers & masks.
Real layers with masks and blend modes, not a flattened canvas.
- Layers & blend modes — Stack, group, reorder and blend — 28 modes including Multiply, Screen and Overlay.
- Layer & vector masks — Combine images cleanly with reversible masking instead of erasing pixels.
- Adjustment layers — Colour and tone changes that stay editable and leave the original pixels untouched.
Photo retouching with real layers.
A full retouch arsenal — healing, clone stamp, frequency separation, liquify and dodge & burn — on real, non-destructive layers, in your browser and on desktop.
- Healing & clone — Remove blemishes and distractions while matching surrounding texture.
- Frequency separation — One click splits tone and texture so you can smooth skin without losing detail.
- Liquify — Push, pull and reshape — with an automatic backup layer to step back.
Open & edit PSD files right in your browser.
Bring layered PSD files straight into the browser and keep editing — layers, masks and editable text intact, no heavy software to install.
- Layers come through — Open a PSD and keep the layers, groups and masks — not a flattened snapshot.
- Editable text — Readable PSD text is brought in as editable text so you can retype and restyle.
- Masks preserved — Layer masks are kept so composites stay reversible and clean.
Remove image background.
Cut out your subject and clear the background right in your browser — precise selection, layer masks and refine-edge — then export a clean transparent PNG.
- Smart selection — Select subjects with the marquee, lasso and quick-select tools, then fine-tune the edge.
- Mask, don't erase — Hide the background with a non-destructive layer mask so you can bring detail back any time.
- Refine the edges — Feather, expand and clean up hair and soft edges for a natural cutout.
