A layered editor with nothing to install

Photo Editor keeps every element — photos, paint strokes, text, shapes and fills — as separate layers with their own opacity, blend mode and non-destructive adjustments (including Levels with a live histogram), composited live with your browser's canvas engine. Select with marquee, lasso or magic wand (real marching ants), then paint, erase, clone-stamp, dodge & burn, flood-fill or pull gradients inside the selection. Transform with real handles, crop the whole document, jump around the History panel, then export a flattened PNG, JPG or WebP — or save the entire project as JSON and reopen it later with every layer intact. Completely free, completely private, works offline.
