# Free online photo editor — edit & export, no upload

> Free online photo editor: crop, straighten, rotate, and fine-tune exposure, contrast, color, temperature, and sharpness, then export JPG, PNG, or WebP — all in your browser.

A full photo editor that runs in your browser: crop, straighten, and rotate, then fine-tune exposure, contrast, color, temperature, and sharpness with live preview. Export JPG, PNG, or WebP — the original image never leaves your device.

Most quick edits — crop to reframe, straighten a horizon, lift shadows, warm the color — don't need a heavyweight desktop app, but they also shouldn't require handing your photos to a cloud editor. This runs the whole pipeline on a canvas in your browser, so it's fast and private at once.

The adjustments are non-destructive as you work: preview the change, dial it in, and only bake it when you export, choosing the format and quality that fit where the image is going.

For one-tap looks use Filters & Effects, for an instant fix use Auto Enhance, and to shrink the exported file for the web use the Media Desk's Compress image.

## How to

1. **Open a photo.** Drop a JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC image onto the editor.
2. **Frame it.** Crop, straighten, and rotate to fix composition.
3. **Adjust.** Tune exposure, contrast, color, temperature, and sharpness.
4. **Export.** Save as JPG, PNG, or WebP at your chosen quality.

## FAQ

### Do I need an account or install anything?

No. The editor loads as a web page and works immediately — no sign-up, no download, and no watermark on your exports.

### Will editing reduce my photo's quality?

Adjustments are applied to the full-resolution image; quality loss only comes from re-encoding to a lossy format. Export as PNG, or JPG/WebP at high quality, to keep it crisp.

### Can it open iPhone HEIC photos?

Yes — HEIC images are decoded so you can edit them, and you can export to JPG or PNG. For pure conversion, the HEIC to JPG tool batches many at once.

### Is my photo uploaded to edit it?

No. Every adjustment runs on a canvas in your browser tab, so the image is processed locally and never sent anywhere.
