    Know before you export

    Still JPEG, PNG, WebP and AVIF inputs up to 64 megapixels are supported, and HEIC where the browser can decode it. Photos above 24 megapixels or 8,192 pixels per side are edited at that size. Color, filter and color-removal effects run at up to 12 megapixels; larger photos are scaled for the effect. All processing stays in your browser.

    Supported files

    Border & padding: common questions

    How do borders and padding change the output size?

    Each side gains the border width plus outside padding. A 1,536 × 1,024 image with 12-pixel borders and 40-pixel padding becomes 1,640 × 1,128. The result must remain within the output limits.

    Can the outside padding be transparent?

    Yes. Export PNG or WebP with transparency enabled. JPEG uses a solid background. The colored border remains visible inside the outside padding.
