Photo Editor & Filters
Crop, straighten and brighten a photo, try twenty filters, blur out the faces of other children before you share it, stamp it with the school name, and save it at the exact size you need.
A free photo editor that runs in your browser. Crop to any shape, straighten a tilted picture, pick from 20 filters, adjust brightness, contrast, colour and warmth, blur out faces before sharing, add a school watermark, and save at an exact pixel size or under a chosen file size.

Size & save
Everything a school photo usually needs, in one place
Straighten it, brighten it, hide the faces that should not be public, add the school name and save it small enough to send. No account, no watermark of ours, no upload.
Crop and straighten
Drag the frame, lock it to a shape, and nudge a tilted horizon back to level.
Fix the light
Pick a filter or move the sliders. "Tube-light fix" and "Dark room fix" are made for Indian classrooms.
Hide faces
Drop a box over any face that should not be identifiable and pixelate or blur it.
Save it
Set the pixel size and a maximum file size, then download a JPG or PNG.
Why blurring faces matters in a school
A class photo often has one child whose parents have given permission and twenty who have not. Posting it as it is puts every one of those children online.
Boxing out the other faces lets you share the moment without sharing the children. Pixelate is safer than blur, because a light blur can sometimes be partially undone, while pixelation throws the detail away for good.
What the filters really do
Each filter is just a saved set of the same sliders you can move yourself — brightness, contrast, colour, warmth, grain and corner shading. Nothing is hidden, so you can pick a filter and then adjust it.
Two are built for Indian classrooms: Tube-light fix takes the green cast out of a photo shot under a tube light, and Dark room fix lifts a photo taken in a dim hall without turning it grey.
Making a photo small enough to send
A phone photo is often 4 to 8 MB, which WhatsApp squashes and most school portals refuse. Set a maximum file size here and the tool finds the best quality that fits, reducing the pixels only if it has to.
For a website, 1600 pixels wide is plenty. For a notice board printout, keep it at full size.
Watermarking school pictures
A watermark with the school name discourages other people from reusing your photographs, and tells anyone who shares them where they came from.
Keep it light — around 70% see-through in a corner is enough to claim the picture without spoiling it. Use "Across the middle" only for drafts and proofs.
Photo Editor & Filters — your questions
How do I blur someone's face in a photo?
Open the Blur faces section, press Add a blur box, then drag the box over the face and drag its bottom-right corner to resize it. Add one box per face. Pixelate is safer than blur, because a light blur can sometimes be partly reversed while pixelation throws the detail away for good.
Why should a school blur faces before posting a photo?
A class photo usually contains one child whose parents have given permission and many who have not. Boxing out the other faces lets the school share the moment without putting every child online. It takes a few seconds and avoids a difficult conversation later.
How do I make a photo smaller than 100 KB?
Type 100 into the largest file box and download the JPG. The tool finds the highest quality that still fits under your limit, and only reduces the pixel size if it has to. Reducing the width first, to around 1600 pixels, usually keeps far more detail.
What do the 20 filters actually do?
Each one is a saved set of the same sliders you can move yourself: brightness, contrast, colour, warmth, grain and corner shading. Nothing is hidden, so you can choose a filter and then fine-tune it. Two are made for Indian classrooms: Tube-light fix and Dark room fix.
Can I add my school name or logo to a photo?
Yes. Type the school name in the watermark box, choose a corner, and set the size, colour and how see-through it should be. You can also add a logo image. Around 70% see-through in a corner is enough to claim the picture without spoiling it.
Does it add its own watermark to my photo?
No. The tool is free and adds nothing to your picture. The only watermark on the image is the one you choose to put there yourself.
How do I straighten a tilted photo?
Use the straighten slider in the Crop section. It rotates the picture a degree at a time and zooms in just enough to keep the corners filled, so you never get white triangles at the edges.
