Most of the time you need to straighten a tilted photo, cut off a background you did not mean to include, brighten something too dark, or strip the color from a picture before printing it in black and white. Opening heavier software for that is overkill, and installing anything on a shared computer is not always possible. This editor loads your image and gives you interactive controls: crop to a chosen area, rotate to fix orientation, sliders for brightness, contrast, and saturation, and a one-click switch to grayscale. It shows a live preview as you adjust, so you see the change before committing, and you can combine several adjustments on one image before saving. It accepts common formats including JPG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, and BMP, and runs on the site's servers over a secure connection, with your original file deleted within 60 minutes. Save a copy of the original before you start if you think you might want it back later, since this tool works on one file at a time and does not keep a version history. For tasks like removing a specific object from a photo or adding text, this editor will not cover it; it sticks to crop, rotate, color adjustment, and grayscale. It works the same on a phone browser as it does on a desktop. ## How to use the Basic Image Editor tool 1. Add your JPG, JPEG, PNG, WEBP, GIF, BMP file: drag & drop or click to browse. 2. Make your changes in the editor, then download the result. ## Common questions ### Is Basic Image Editor free? Yes. Basic Image Editor is free for light use with no signup needed. Anonymous visitors get 10 free tasks per day, and creating a free account makes daily use unlimited. A paid Pro plan removes ads and raises file-size limits for heavier work. ### Is my file safe?
