Free online photo editor with layers

Crop to a ratio and straighten the horizon, resize the image or its canvas, rotate and flip. Then correct light and colour with adjustment layers, which sit above the photo and can be changed or switched off at any time.

• Levels and Curves with a histogram, Brightness/Contrast and Exposure
• Hue/Saturation, Vibrance, Colour balance, White balance, Black & white, Photo filter, Gradient map and Selective colour
• Filters: Gaussian, motion and surface blur, unsharp mask, noise, mosaic, high pass and vignette
• A History panel that names every step and goes back to any of them

Take out what does not belong and repair what does. The clone and healing tools paint onto their own layer by default, so the original photo stays untouched underneath.

• Spot healing brush, healing brush and patch tool
• Clone stamp with a source you set by Alt-click
• Content-aware fill for a selected area
• Dodge, burn and sponge; blur, sharpen and smudge
• Liquify, to push, bloat and pucker

Select with the marquee, the lasso or the polygonal lasso, paint a selection with the quick selection brush, or click with the magic wand. Select and mask refines hair and soft edges, and the result becomes a layer mask, so nothing is erased.

Select subject and Remove background find the main subject for you and turn it into a selection or a mask you can keep refining.

Build a picture from layers and groups with 27 blend modes, clipping masks and layer styles such as drop shadow, stroke and glow. Free transform scales, turns, skews, distorts in perspective and warps a layer, and a placed image stays sharp however often it is resized.

• Text you can edit later, set along a path or warped
• Shapes, a pen tool and paths
• Align and distribute, smart guides, rulers and guides

Open a PSD with its layers, groups, masks, clipping, blend modes, adjustment layers and layer styles; text stays editable when its font is available. Save a copy as PSD to hand the work back to someone who uses Photoshop.

Export as JPG, PNG or WebP, at the quality and size you choose, with the file size shown before you save. Unsaved work is kept in the browser and offered back if the tab closes.

Make a texture seamless so it tiles with no visible join, resize it to a power of two, pull a palette out of a picture, or turn a photo into pixel art and carry on in the pixel art editor.
