What is PhotoJam?
A photo editor that runs right in your browser, no software to install, no account, and no cost.
Why it exists
Zero friction
No sign-up, no login, no paid plan. You open the site and you are already editing.
Privacy by default
Your images are processed in your browser, never sent to any server.
Funded by advertising
Honest, always-labeled ads pay the bill. Nothing hidden behind a subscription.
What you can do
Real layers
Images, shapes and text on independent, reorderable layers, in as many project tabs as you need.
One-click background removal
AI-powered — select a photo layer and the background is gone in seconds, no manual masking.
Precise crop
Drag an area and apply: it becomes a new image, ready to keep working on. Rulers and guides snap it into place.
Selection, brush, shapes and text
Rectangular and lasso selection, free brush, eraser, rectangle, ellipse and editable text.
Image adjustments
Brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, sharpen, noise, sepia, invert and black and white.
Blend modes and size presets
Composite layers with multiply, screen and more; start a new project from a ready-made size like Instagram or A4 print.
Undo without fear
Full undo/redo history, kept separately per tab, so you can experiment freely.
Exports to PNG, JPEG or WEBP
One click generates the final file, no watermark.
How it works
Open the editor
It already loads with a sample photo so you can explore the tools.
Edit
Layers, crop, brush and adjustments, all running in your browser.
Export
Download the final PNG, JPEG or WEBP. The project also stays saved in this browser.
Frequently asked questions
Is PhotoJam really free?
Yes. Funded by advertising, with no paid plan and no feature locked behind a subscription.
Do I need to create an account?
No. No sign-up, login or password, just open the site.
Are my photos sent to a server?
No. All processing happens in your browser; your images never reach us.
Does the project stay saved if I close the tab?
Yes, locally in this browser. It is not a cloud backup, so export your file once you are done.
