Prompt

Lock composition — change only colour and light, never the subject or framing

Saving the key stores it in this browser's local storage. Fine on your own phone or laptop. Never turn it on where other people use the device or the browser profile.

Quick fixes

Auto reads the histogram and sets exposure, contrast and black point. The picker asks you to tap something that should be neutral grey or white.

Tone curve

Tap the line to add a point, drag to shape it, tap a point twice to remove it.

Colour mixer

Detail

Adjustment layers

Each layer edits one part of the photo. Radial for a face, linear for a sky, brush for anything else.

Aspect ratio

Perspective

Fixes leaning buildings and the tilt you get shooting upward. The frame is stretched to stay full, so crop afterwards if the edges soften.

Straighten

Drag inside the box to move it, corners to resize. Applying is not permanent — reset brings the whole frame back.

Add a text layer, then drag it on the photo to position it.

Retouch

Background

Runs on your device. The model downloads once (about 176MB) and is cached by your browser after that — offline from then on.

Background colour

Remove objects

Paint over anything you want gone — people in the background, a bin, a sign. Then pick how to fill it.

OpenAI fills only what you painted. Gemini has no mask input, so it rebuilds the whole frame from a description — leave the paint empty and just describe what to remove.

Spot heal

Tap a blemish or a small distraction. A matching patch is copied from just beside it and feathered in.

Finish

Frame

Frame colour

Fit to a shape

Drops a tall or wide photo into a post-shaped frame without cropping, filling the sides with a blurred copy.

Export

Format

Keep the original camera data (JPEG only)

Preserves make, model, lens and date. It may also carry GPS coordinates from where the photo was taken — leave this off for anything you post publicly.

Batch

Applies everything currently set — preset, curve, mixer, frame, watermark — to a folder of photos and saves them all. Crop and text layers are skipped, since they're specific to one frame.

Collage

Pick a layout, choose photos, and build. The result becomes your working photo, so every preset, crop and text tool still applies to it.

Border colour

Your look library

Saved looks live in this browser only. Export them to a file to move them to another device, or to keep them if you clear your browser data.

Session

Start with a photo

Nothing is applied until you choose it. Grading runs on your device; an AI restyle sends the photo to the provider you pick.
