Sometimes you just need to put text over a photo, blend two images, or fix the color on fifty product shots, and installing a heavy desktop editor feels like overkill.
Single image with layers. The photo editor with layers runs in the browser: add image and text layers, reorder them, change opacity and blend modes, then export PNG or JPG. Everything stays on your device, so nothing gets uploaded.
A quick workflow for a blog header:
- Open your background photo as the base layer.
- Add a dark rectangle layer at 40% opacity so text is readable.
- Add a text layer for the title and center it.
- Export at 1200x630 for social previews.
Many images at once. For shop listings or event photos, the batch photo editor applies the same brightness, contrast and resize to a whole folder in one pass.
Need it bigger? Small source images can be enlarged with the image upscaler before you edit.
None of these require an account, which makes them handy on borrowed or work computers.
