Image Editor is a free online PaperStack tool for image tools. Open a photo in the browser and edit it locally—rotate, crop, filter, and resize without uploading.
The Image Editor opens JPG, PNG, WebP, and similar files so you can rotate, flip, crop, resize, and apply filters such as brightness, contrast, blur, and color. Everything runs on your device.
You can use it on a phone, tablet, or computer. There is no sign-up, and processing runs in your browser so files and text are not uploaded to PaperStack for storage.
How Image Editor is useful
A locked-down work laptop often has no photo app. Editing in the browser keeps the original off public upload tools and lets you finish a quick crop or color fix in one place.
Typical reasons people open this tool:
- Finish a one-off job without installing desktop software
- Keep documents and copy on the device they already use
- Move faster than emailing a file to themselves or waiting on IT
- Pair it with other Image Tools on PaperStack in the same sitting

Practical tips

- Download as PNG when you need transparency (rounded corners or opacity).
Why use PaperStack for this
Many “free converters” ask you to upload a file to a server you do not control. PaperStack is built around browser-side processing: you open the page, do the work, and download or copy the result. That is the difference when the file is a payslip, a contract, a customer CSV, or a draft that is not public yet.
You also get a consistent layout across PDF, Word, image, CSV, and text tools, so the next job does not require learning a new app.
Frequently asked questions
Is Image Editor free?
Yes. You can use it without creating an account or paying a subscription.
Are my files uploaded?
No. Processing runs locally in your browser. PaperStack does not need your file on a server to run the tool.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. Use a modern mobile or desktop browser. Very large files are more comfortable on a laptop because they use more memory.
Can beginners use it?
Yes. Follow the steps above. If something looks wrong, keep the original file and try a milder setting (for example less compression).
