How to use the photo editor

  1. Open a photo

    Choose an image or drag it onto the page. It appears in the preview.

  2. Adjust

    Drag the sliders, or tap a quick look and fine-tune it.

  3. Compare

    Press and hold Compare to see the original, then let go to see your edit.

  4. Save

    Pick the output format and press Save photo to apply the edits at full size and download.

What is a photo editor?

This photo editor has the eight adjustments most photos need: exposure and brightness to lift a dark shot, contrast to add depth, saturation for stronger or softer colour, warmth to correct a blue or yellow cast, sharpen for crisper detail, blur for a soft, dreamy look, and vignette to darken the corners and draw the eye to the centre. Every slider updates a live preview, a one-tap set of looks (Vivid, Warm, Cool, Soft and Punchy) gives you a starting point, and holding the Compare button shows the original.

The adjustments are computed pixel by pixel by our own code rather than the browser's built-in filters, so the result looks the same in Safari on iPhone as in Chrome. The preview is drawn on a smaller copy so it stays smooth; when you save, the same settings are applied to the full-resolution photo. The output keeps the original format by default (HEIC is saved as JPG).

Limits: it is a global editor, so each change applies to the whole picture; there are no brushes, masks, layers or curves. Very large images take a few seconds to save and are capped at about 16.7 megapixels. Saving re-encodes the photo and removes EXIF data.

Why use a photo editor?

Most phone photos need only a small correction: a bit brighter, a bit warmer, a touch sharper. A full desktop editor is overkill for that, and many free apps add watermarks or upload your pictures. This one runs in the browser and keeps the photo on your device.

Photo editor: frequently asked questions

Is this photo editor really free?

You get 1 free run of this tool per day. After that, each run costs 5 credits with a free AI Rank Lab account. Previewing and trying different settings never count; only the final save or download does.

Will editing reduce my photo's resolution?

No. The preview uses a smaller copy for speed, but saving applies your settings to the full-size photo. Only images above about 16.7 megapixels are scaled down, because browsers on iPhone can't hold more.

Does it work on iPhone?

Yes. Safari on iPhone doesn't support the browser filters many web editors rely on, so this editor does its own pixel maths and gives the same result there as on a computer.

How do I fix a dark photo?

Raise Exposure first, which brightens like a longer camera exposure, then use Brightness and Contrast to balance it. A small Warmth increase helps indoor photos that look grey or blue.

What is the difference between brightness and exposure?

Exposure multiplies the light in the photo, so bright areas get brighter faster than dark ones, like a camera setting. Brightness adds the same amount everywhere, which lifts shadows but can make the picture look flat.

Can I undo my changes?

Yes. Each slider has a reset button, Reset all clears everything, and nothing is saved until you press Save photo. The original file on your device is never changed.

Can it remove objects or blemishes?

No. This editor adjusts the whole picture at once; it has no healing brush, masks or layers.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Editing and saving happen in your browser. Our server only counts that a run took place.
