A free photo editor in your browser, no install

Who looks for an Affinity Photo alternative

Affinity Photo is a capable desktop editor. People look for an alternative when they work on a Chromebook, on a computer where they can’t install apps, or when they want to edit quickly without opening a large program. Others want AI help, such as one-click background removal, alongside the classic tools.

CutLift runs in the browser on Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebooks. It opens JPEG, PNG, WebP, Camera RAW and layered PSD files, and nothing is uploaded: editing happens on your own device.

The tools you expect

Work with layers and selections: lassos, pen, Colour Range, magic selection, refine edge and feather. Adjust tone and colour with curves, levels, exposure, hue and saturation, colour balance and black and white. Retouch with the healing brush and clone stamp, reshape with liquify, add text and shapes, and crop or straighten. When you are done, save a layered PSD to continue elsewhere, or export PNG, JPG or WebP.

AI where it saves time

Remove a background in one click, select any object by clicking it, or erase people and clutter with the object remover. The editor and its everyday AI are free; CutLift Pro adds the precise click-to-select model, batch work, upscaling and studio exports, and you can try every Pro tool free while you edit.

Converting and exporting

Finished files leave the editor the way you need them: a layered PSD to continue in another app, a transparent PNG or WebP cut-out, or a JPG for email and the web. The Convert panel also resizes, compresses, adds a border or watermark, and saves a PDF or a favicon, with a live preview of exactly what you will download.

Projects can be saved and reopened later, so longer edits don’t have to happen in one sitting.
