Add watermark →A Flexible Image Editor for Everyday Design Work
Work with separate objects instead of treating your entire design as one flat image. Make changes, arrange elements and export the result from one browser-based editor.
Layer-Based Editing
Keep images, text and shapes as separate objects so each element can be edited independently.
Editable Text
Change text, font family, size, weight, color, position, rotation and opacity.
Move & Resize
Select an element directly on the canvas and transform it without rebuilding the entire composition.
Layer Ordering
Bring elements forward or send them backward to control the visual stacking order.
Undo & Redo
Experiment with your design and reverse supported changes whenever you need to.
Multiple Export Formats
Export the finished canvas as PNG, JPG or WebP for different image-use cases.
Edit an Image in Three Simple Steps
Start with an image, build your composition with layers, then export the final design.
Upload Your Image
Add a JPG, PNG or WebP image to the editor and place it on the canvas.
Add & Edit Layers
Add text, images or shapes and control their position, size, rotation, opacity and layer order.
Export Your Design
Download your completed composition as PNG, JPG or WebP.
What Can You Edit?
Build your composition from individual elements and control each one separately.
Text
Edit wording, font, size, weight and color.
Images
Add additional images as independent layers.
Shapes
Add rectangles and circles to your design.
Rotation
Rotate individual elements directly on the canvas.
Size
Change width, height and element position.
Opacity
Adjust transparency for supported elements.
Layer Order
Move objects forward or backward in your design.
Layer Lock
Lock an element when you do not want it moved.
Turn a Flat Design into Editable Layers
A JPG or PNG normally contains a single flattened set of pixels. To make the existing text, photos, icons and shapes editable, an AI layer-extraction system can analyse the uploaded design and reconstruct its visual elements.
The editor is structured to receive reconstructed layers from an AI service and place them directly onto the editable canvas.
Useful for More Than Basic Photo Editing
A layer-based editor is useful whenever you need to combine photos, text and graphic elements in one composition.
Social Media Graphics
Add headlines, promotional copy, shapes and supporting images to create social media graphics.
Marketing Creatives
Create simple promotional banners, offers and visual announcements with separate editable elements.
Product Graphics
Combine product photos with labels, headings, shapes and other supporting visual elements.
Posters & Announcements
Build simple posters and announcements with editable headings, images and graphic elements.
Image Editor Online
FreePixelKit Image Editor is an online image editing tool for creating and modifying layered image compositions directly in your browser. Upload an image, add text or additional images, create simple shapes, arrange objects and export your finished design without needing traditional desktop image-editing software.
The editor uses a layer-based workflow, which means that added elements remain separate objects. This makes it easier to change a heading, reposition an image, adjust an element's opacity or move an object above or below another layer.
Edit Images with Layers
Layers make image editing more flexible because different parts of a composition can be controlled independently. Instead of permanently combining every new element with the background, you can keep text, additional images and shapes as separate editable objects.
Add and Edit Text on Images
Text can be added as its own layer. You can edit the wording, choose a font, change the font size and weight, adjust the color, move the text, rotate it and control its opacity.
Add Images and Shapes
Additional images can be uploaded as separate layers and positioned anywhere on the canvas. Basic shapes such as rectangles and circles can also be added to create simple graphic compositions.
Can a JPG or PNG Become Fully Editable?
A standard JPG or PNG is a flattened image. The original text, fonts, icons, photographs and shapes are represented as pixels, rather than being stored as separate design layers.
Because of this, a normal browser editor cannot reliably recover the original layer structure from a flattened image. AI-powered image decomposition can instead analyse the design, detect text and visual objects, separate regions and reconstruct an editable approximation.
Image Editing for Websites and Social Media
A browser-based editor is useful for quick design changes, promotional graphics, social media images, product visuals, simple banners and other everyday image tasks. You can work directly in the browser and export the final image when the composition is ready.
Export Your Edited Image
Once your design is complete, you can export the canvas as PNG, JPG or WebP. The appropriate format depends on how you plan to use the image. PNG is useful when transparency or lossless output is important, while JPG and WebP are commonly used for photographs and web graphics.
Layer-Based Editing vs Basic Image Editing
A traditional quick editor is useful for one-off adjustments. A layer-based editor is better when multiple elements need to be changed independently.
