Image Editor

Image Editor

Developers/artists use image editors to manipulate or transform images. Crop, resize, color-correct, composite (combine many images into one), or remove unwanted objects. Some are more popular than others, but they all have similar editing capabilities. The following sections cover some of their differences.

Web App Image Editors

Web App Image Editors are available in-browser. In other words, you do not need to leave your browser to work on an image. Example: the ability to open images from a local folder/ url.

Open Source Editors

Available as free downloads and open to user contributions to the software's development.

Paid Editors

Paid Editors need either a one-time payment or are subscription-based. But, trial-versions are available to test out the software before committing to buy. If you happen to be a student, many times, there are discounts available through a student email or ID.
