Working with the full canvas editor

A canvas workspace for image layers, brush strokes, selections, text, and export.

Working with the full canvas editor

The full editor is designed for projects that require multiple operations. Use its layers and selection controls for nontrivial compositions, then export an image or save the project data when you want to return to the layout.

How to use this tool

Open the canvas editor and import an image or begin from the available canvas controls.
Choose a brush, text, selection, fill, filter, or crop tool as appropriate.
Organize changes on layers and use the layer controls to merge or flatten when needed.
Export PNG, JPEG, or WebP, or save project JSON for supported editor state.

Practical tips

Keep text on movable text elements until the wording and positioning are final.
Try selections and the eyedropper before applying broad color fills.
Check the final image dimensions and output format before downloading.

Common questions

When should I use the full editor rather than a focused tool?

Use the full editor for layers, brushwork, selections, and several edits in one canvas.

Can I keep editable project information?

The editor includes a project JSON save option in addition to raster exports.

Limitations: The interface is more comfortable on a wide desktop or landscape screen; browser canvas capabilities vary with available memory.
