Start from your image
Stays in your browserYour file is opened locally. It is uploaded only if you save a cloud project or run an AI tool.
Free to use
A free editor, not a trial
The canvas, layer tools, adjustments, templates and exports are free. You do not need an account or a card to start. AI is the part that uses credits — it is metered, never advertised as unlimited.
- Canvas, layers, masks, groups and blend modes
- Crop, colour, blur, sharpen and adjustment layers
- Built-in templates with editable text and shapes
- Export PNG, JPG, WebP, layered PSD or .ais
Core editing
Everything you need to finish the image
A real canvas and a real layer stack, with the everyday tools laid out where you expect them.
Layer-based editing
Stack images, text, shapes, masks, groups and adjustment layers. Every element stays editable.
Precise adjustments
Crop, resize, rotate, flip, filter, blur, sharpen and fine-tune colour without flattening your work.
AI that returns layers
Subject cutouts, object removal, upscaling and enhancement arrive as new layers you can keep refining.
Background removal
Remove a background with the built-in U²-Net tool, then mask or retouch the result on its own layer.
Templates for real formats
Start from social, poster, product and screen sizes with editable text and image placeholders.
Exports that fit the job
Export PNG, JPG or WebP, or hand off a layered PSD or a Pixopea project file.

Layers
Edit the structure, not just the pixels
Images, text, shapes and adjustments live on separate layers. Group them, mask them, clip them and change the blend later. A PSD stays a PSD when you bring it in or send it out.
- Image, text, shape and adjustment layers
- Groups, clipping and layer masks
- Blend modes and opacity
- Layered PSD import and export

AI tools
AI that hands back editable layers
Results arrive as layers, so you can mask, blend and refine them. AI requires an account and uses credits; connected generative providers cost more and are off until an administrator enables them.
Background removal
1 credit · free accountThe built-in U²-Net model cuts the subject out on a new layer. Refine the mask by hand when the edge needs work.
Select subject or object
No credit chargeCreate a selection from the main subject or a named object, then mask, cut or adjust only that region.
Object removal and upscaling
1 credit per runClean up a distraction, enlarge a small layer, or run a local enhancement pass without leaving the canvas.
Generative tools, when connected
More credits · provider chargesGenerate, fill, expand and outpaint only work after an administrator enables an external provider with credentials.
Background removal
A cutout you can still fix
Send the current layer to the built-in U²-Net model. The subject comes back on its own layer, with the original underneath. Refine the edge with a mask, place the subject on a new background and export.
- 1 Open the image and select the layer.
- 2 Run background removal — it costs one credit.
- 3 Mask, retouch and export or reuse in a template.
Requires a signed-in account, a running AI service and one credit per run. Fine hair, glass and low-contrast edges usually need mask refinement.

No. AI uses credits. A free account receives 50 credits per month with daily and monthly limits. Built-in jobs cost 0–1 credit; generative models cost more and work only when an administrator has connected a provider.
Where are my projects stored?
Guest drafts stay in this browser’s IndexedDB. Signed-in projects are stored on the Pixopea server with your account, within your plan’s project and storage limits.
Can I edit on a phone or tablet?
Yes. Pixopea has a touch layout with pinch zoom, two-finger pan and mobile panels. A larger screen is more comfortable for detailed masking.
