Photo tools
See allEdit
- Resize Image
Change the size of a photo in pixels or by percentage. Keep its shape, or fit it to an exact size.
- Crop Image
Cut a photo down to the part you want. Drag the frame on the photo, or pick a ratio such as 1:1 or 16:9.
- Remove Background
Cut out the person or object in a photo with AI that runs on your device. Keep the background transparent, or fill it with a color.
- Resize for Social Media
Fit a photo to the exact size Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, LinkedIn or Pinterest expects. Crop to fill, or keep the whole photo with padding.
- Passport Photo
Crop a photo to the exact passport, visa or ID photo size, ready to upload or print at 300 dpi.
- Rotate & Flip
Turn a photo the right way up, mirror it, or straighten a tilted horizon.
- Add Border
Put a border or frame around a photo, in any color, with square or rounded corners.
- Round Corners
Give a photo rounded corners. The corners stay transparent, so it is saved as PNG.
- Circle Crop
Cut a photo into a circle, ready for a profile picture. Drag the frame to pick the face or subject.
- Fit Without Cropping
Pad a photo to a square or any other ratio so nothing gets cut off, for Instagram and other feeds.

Put a photo in an instant-film frame with a wide bottom edge and an optional handwritten caption.
Adjust
- Adjust Light & Color
Fix a dark, flat or off-color photo with exposure, contrast, saturation and white balance sliders.
- Auto Enhance
Fix a flat, dull or tinted photo in one step: the tones are stretched, color casts removed and detail sharpened.
- Change Hue
Turn every color in a photo around the color wheel, and make them richer or more muted.
- Sharpen Image
Make a soft photo look crisper by bringing out edges and fine detail.
Effects
- Photo Filters
Give a photo a look in one click: film, vintage, faded, golden hour, black and white and more, at any strength.
- Black & White
Turn a color photo into black and white: soft grayscale, high-contrast noir or warm sepia.
- Film Effect
Make a digital photo look shot on film: soft faded color, grain and a gentle vignette.
- Y2K Digicam Effect
Make a photo look taken on an early 2000s digital camera: bright flash look, cool colors, crisp noise and an orange date stamp.
- Disposable Camera Effect
Turn a phone photo into a disposable camera shot: warm faded color, heavy grain, dark corners and a date stamp.
- Duotone Effect
Turn a photo into two colors, one for the shadows and one for the highlights, for a bold poster look.
- Blur Image
Blur a whole photo, or only part of it such as a face, a license plate or the background.
- Blur Background
Keep the person or object sharp and blur everything behind it, like a camera’s portrait mode. AI finds the subject on your device.
- Pixelate Image
Pixelate a photo or just a part of it to hide faces, names or numbers with a mosaic.
- Tilt-Shift Effect
Make a scene look like a tiny model: keep a band in focus, blur above and below it and boost the color.

Add fine or coarse film grain to a photo, in gray or color, for an analog texture.

Darken or lighten the edges of a photo so the eye goes to the subject.

- Gradient Overlay
Lay a two-color gradient over a photo, linear or radial, and choose how it mixes: lighten, darken, color and more.
- Glitch Effect
Break a photo up like a corrupted screen: color channels pulled apart, torn slices and scan lines.
- VHS Effect
Make a photo look like a paused VHS tape: washed-out color, color bleed, scan lines, noise and a PLAY label.
- Halftone Effect
Turn a photo into printed dots like a newspaper or pop-art poster, with your own ink and paper colors.
- Photo to Sketch
Turn a photo into a pencil drawing, in graphite gray or colored pencil, with fine or broad lines.
- Mirror Effect
Make a photo symmetrical by reflecting one half onto the other, or one quarter into all four corners.

Get a photo under a file size limit, such as 100 KB for an online form. The best quality that fits is picked for you.

Change a photo to JPEG, PNG or WebP. Transparent areas get a background color when the format has no transparency.
