How to edit a photo online

  1. Open a photo: choose a file, drop it onto the editor or paste it from your clipboard.
  2. Start with a preset such as Natural, Film or B&W, and set its strength.
  3. Fine-tune Light (exposure, contrast, highlights, shadows) and Color (temperature, vibrance, color mixer).
  4. Add clarity, vignette or grain, shape the tone curve, then crop and straighten.
  5. Hold Before to compare with the original, then download a JPG, PNG or WebP at full resolution.

Lightroom-style editing in your browser

  • Pro light and color controls

    Exposure in real stops, contrast, highlights, shadows, whites and blacks, white balance, vibrance, saturation and an 8-band color mixer for hue, saturation and luminance.

  • Curves, effects and detail

    RGB and per-channel tone curves, clarity, dehaze, vignette, film grain, sharpening and noise reduction, all in real time on your graphics chip.

  • 20 presets and your own

    Vivid, Natural, Film, Portrait film, Teal & Orange, Moody, B&W, Noir, Sepia and more, with live previews and a strength slider. Save your own looks to reuse them.

  • Crop, straighten, compare

    Crop to 1:1, 4:5, 9:16, 16:9 or 3:2, straighten the horizon, rotate and flip. Undo everything, and hold Before or use the split view to compare.

  • Full-resolution export

    Download JPG, PNG or WebP at the original size or resized. Metadata is removed by default; you can keep camera details without the GPS location.

  • Private by design

    Your photos are processed on your device and never uploaded. No account, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you edit.

Frequently asked questions

Is Zebra Photo really free?

Yes. Every tool, preset and export size is free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many photos you edit.

Are my photos uploaded?

No. Editing happens in your browser on your own device. Your photos are never sent to ZEBRA or any other server.

Is it like Lightroom?

It covers the core of Lightroom’s Edit panel for single photos: light, color, color mixer, curves, effects, detail, crop and presets. It does not open RAW files or manage a photo library. Lightroom is a trademark of Adobe; Zebra Photo is not affiliated with Adobe.

Which files can I open?

JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, GIF and BMP. HEIC photos from iPhones open in Safari; in other browsers, set the iPhone camera to “Most Compatible” or convert to JPG first.

Will the download be full resolution?

Yes, up to what your device can handle safely. Very large photos may be exported smaller on phones or older devices because of browser memory limits; the editor tells you when that happens.

Does it remove location and camera data?

By default the download contains no metadata at all. If you turn on “Keep camera details” for a JPG, the camera and exposure details stay, but GPS location and the embedded preview of the original are removed.

Can I save my own presets?

Yes. In Presets, type a name and save your current look. Saved presets stay in this browser, and you can delete them at any time.

Why do some effects look different at 100% zoom?

Sharpening, noise reduction and grain work on fine detail, so they are easiest to judge at 100%. The preview while zoomed out is a scaled-down approximation of the full-size result.
