Photo Editor

Remove the background, crop, straighten, brighten and filter your photos, hide faces or number plates, and add text and stickers. Works on phones and computers; your photo never leaves your device.

A real recording of the tool, no sound โ€” the steps are written on the video and below.

How it works

Open a photo and use the panels on the left. Adjust has sliders for exposure, brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, tint, hue, fade, sharpen, blur, vignette and grain. Filters gives one-tap looks such as Vivid, Warm, B&W, Noir, Vintage and Golden, which work together with the sliders.

Remove bg finds the main person, animal or object and takes the background away; then keep it transparent, put a colour behind it, or blur the original background for a portrait look. Crop has free and fixed shapes โ€” square, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 and passport 35 ร— 45 mm โ€” plus rotate and flip.

Draw with a pen or highlighter (the eraser only removes your strokes, never the photo). Blur / hide lets you drag a box or an oval over a face, a number plate or private text. Add text in many fonts, including Urdu, plus shapes and more than 100 stickers. Every step can be undone.

How to use the Photo Editor, step by step

  1. Press โ€œOpen photoโ€ (or drag a picture onto the page).
  2. Fix the basics first: Crop & rotate, then Adjust (exposure, contrast, warmth).
  3. Try a Filter, or Remove bg for a cut-out or a new background.
  4. Hide private details with Blur / hide, then add Text or Stickers.
  5. Choose JPG (smaller) or PNG (keeps transparency) and press Download.

Tips

  • Straighten and crop before adding text, so the text stays where you put it.
  • Small moves look natural: exposure +10 to +20 and warmth +5 to +15 fix most indoor phone photos.
  • For a passport photo, use the Passport 35 ร— 45 crop and a plain light background (Remove bg โ†’ White).
  • Download PNG after removing the background; JPG cannot be transparent.

Questions

Is this like Photoshop?

It covers the everyday jobs โ€” crop, colour, filters, background removal, text, stickers, drawing and blurring โ€” in a simple editor. It does not have layer masks or advanced retouching.

How does background removal work without uploading?

Your browser downloads a small AI model (Uยฒ-Net, about 5 MB, only once) and runs it on your device. The photo is never sent anywhere.

How do I blur a face or number plate?

Open Blur / hide, choose Pixelate or Blur (and Oval for faces), then drag a box over the area.

Does it reduce the quality?

Very large photos are scaled to 3200 pixels on the longest side, which is enough for prints up to A4. JPG is saved at high quality.
