Overview
Edit.photo is a photo editor that runs inside your browser, and the vendor states nothing is uploaded and every edit happens on your own device. It covers crop, rotate, flip, resize, preset filters and adjustments like brightness, contrast, exposure and saturation. You can lay text, arrows, shapes and freehand drawing over a photo. A redact tool blurs a face, a name or an address, and the vendor states that blur cannot be recovered. It opens JPEG, PNG, WEBP, HEIC and GIF, animated GIFs included.
It is free. You do not need an account, and it has no ads or tracking. There are no layers, clone tools or heal tools. It is a markup and adjustment editor rather than a Photoshop replacement.

When to use
Use Edit.photo if:
- You want to crop, straighten, resize or adjust a photo in seconds and download it, without signing up for anything.
- You care that the photo stays on your device, since the vendor states nothing is uploaded to a server.
- You need to blur out a face, a name or an address before sharing, which its redact tool is built for.
- You want to add text, arrows or shapes to a screenshot or photo to explain something.
- You are on a phone or a locked-down computer and cannot install software.
When NOT to use
Skip Edit.photo if any of these describe you:
- You need layers to stack, mask or blend images. It has none. Use Adobe Photoshop or the free Photopea instead.
- You want to remove objects or fix skin with clone and heal tools. It has no retouching brushes. Browse photo editors for one that does.
- You want AI edits like background removal or upscaling. This tool has no AI features.
- You want to save projects and pick them up later. There is no account, so nothing is stored between visits.
- You need to batch-edit many photos at once. It works on one image at a time.
