What would you like to do?

Choose a task for practical instructions, then open the full editor. No PhotoBlaze account is required.

Resize an image

Make a photograph fit a website, email or presentation by changing its pixel dimensions. PhotoBlaze processes your artwork on your device in a full photo editor.

Crop an image

Trim unwanted edges and improve the framing of a photograph. Crop in the browser, then keep editing with layers, text and adjustments if your project needs them.

Remove a background

Separate a subject from its background using selection tools and a layer mask. PhotoBlaze gives you an editable cutout workflow, with edge refinement before you export.

Reduce image file size

Reduce the size of an image download by choosing appropriate dimensions and export settings. This is a manual export workflow in PhotoBlaze, not a guaranteed target-size compressor.

Convert JPG to PNG

Open your JPEG in PhotoBlaze and export a PNG on your device. You can also add text, crop the picture or create a transparent cutout before exporting.

Blur part of a photo

Soften distracting detail with the Blur brush while keeping control of where it acts. Open an ordinary photo and begin brushing without a separate rasterization step.

Adjust brightness and contrast

Improve the overall lightness and tonal separation of a photo with an editable adjustment layer. The settings remain available while you work on the composition.

A familiar workspace. More room to create.

01

Build with layers

Combine photographs, text and shapes. Use masks to control what is visible and keep the source artwork available as you refine a composition.

Explore editing tools →
02

Keep your work editable

Open PSD documents and save supported layers, text, masks and embedded Smart Objects. Check complex files after import: compatibility varies by feature.

Work with PSD files →
03

Take care of the details

Use supported 16-bit workflows for higher-precision photo adjustments. Choose an output format that fits the next step in your project.

Your images stay in your workspace.

PhotoBlaze processes opened artwork on your device. Browser recovery keeps checkpoints of your open documents; PSD downloads give you a separate copy.

The app and optional tools still need network downloads. Recovery is specific to your browser and site address, so save files you want to keep.

How local processing works →

Start with the file you have.

Open common photos, layered PSDs, HEIC, JPEG XL and supported camera RAW files. Export a finished image or save a PSD for another editing session.

Format support is not identical in both directions. Some formats are flattened, still-image only or decoded to a working image.

Get from an idea to an image.

  1. Open your file. Launch the editor and choose File → Open. Each opened document gets its own tab.
  2. Make it yours. Adjust the photo, add text and work with layers and masks.
  3. Keep a copy. Save for editable work, or export an image for sharing.
