THE WORKSPACE
Fix the photo you already have
A family snapshot may need a brighter face. A product photo may need a tighter crop and more accurate color. A photograph for an event may need a short headline. Begin with the picture you already have and make the changes that help someone see what matters.
Photo Studio gives you a separate editing workspace for those decisions. Open one image, preview your changes, and download a new copy. Your source file stays where you put it. Keep it nearby if you plan to make more than one version.
Photo editing tools for everyday work
Frame the subject
Use Crop to take out distracting edges or fit a specific aspect ratio. Use Transform to change the pixel dimensions when a website or message requires a smaller file. Cropping changes what the picture contains. Resizing changes how many pixels describe it. If you need a square picture, choose a square crop instead of stretching a rectangular photo. To outline part of the image, try the Lasso tools for a drawn edge or Magic Wand for similar colours.
Put captions, shapes, and drawings on separate layers
Add a date, a title, or a note, then place it without changing the photo underneath. Select a font and adjust size, color, spacing, or outline. For a busy background, add a shape beneath the words and lower its opacity. Brush and eraser size rings show the area a stroke will cover at the current zoom.
Keep track of changes
Move layers in front of or behind each other, hide a draft element, or lock it in place. Use Undo or select a step in History to revisit a recent edit. The editor can keep a local draft in this browser. Download a Photo Studio project when you want an editable copy you can keep outside the browser. Use a layer mask to hide part of a layer or Clone Stamp to repair a small mark.
LIGHT AND COLOR
Correct color before choosing a look
Open Adjust and start in Light. Try Exposure if the whole picture needs to be brighter, or Shadows if the darker areas need attention. In Color, adjust Temperature or Tint if light from a room or window gave the picture a noticeable cast. Compare with the source as you work.
Once the image looks balanced, decide if it needs a stronger style. Use HSL controls for broad color families or curves for tonal changes. A preset can give you a direction. Check how it affects skin, product color, and bright areas before keeping it. See the photo color grading walkthrough for a worked example. For a design accent, pick a colour from the photo and use it in a gradient.
Open a picture. Choose a JPEG, PNG, or WebP image from your device. You can also open Photo Studio directly.
Decide what belongs in the frame. Crop before placing captions. An image-wide crop or resize flattens visible layers, so finish the framing early when you need those layers to stay editable.
Adjust light and color. Compare your changes with the source. Zoom in to inspect important edges, then return to the size people will actually see.
Add text or other details. Keep type or shapes on separate layers so a later correction is easy.
Download the result. Use Download image for PNG. Open Download options for JPEG or WebP, a smaller output size, or a custom filename.
Choose a format for the finished image
PNGJPEGWebP
PNG works well for graphics and images that need transparent areas. JPEG is a practical choice for many photos when file size matters and transparency is unnecessary. WebP is another option when the receiving website or application supports it. If a platform sets a size limit, choose the right pixel dimensions first, then adjust quality and compare the result.
Open the downloaded image in its destination or an image viewer. Check the crop, text, and important edges. For photos you will edit again, keep the original and save an editable project alongside the finished image.
Do I need an account or a subscription to edit a photo?
The core editing and image downloads here are free and do not require an account. The editor opens in your browser.
Where is the photo processed?
Photo Studio decodes, edits, and exports the image in your browser. The site still makes ordinary network requests to load its pages and application files. The privacy policy explains file transfer, local drafts, and site storage.
What if my phone saved the photo as HEIC?
Export a JPEG, PNG, or WebP copy using your device or another tool, then open that copy. Photo Studio does not open HEIC or camera RAW files directly.
Can I work on a tablet or phone?
Yes, with a compatible browser. Collapse the panels for more canvas space and use numeric controls when a small move is difficult by touch. Large images can take longer to process on devices with less available memory.
