Get to Know the Photo Editor

ImagiTool Photo Editor gives you one workspace for editing and exporting single images. This guide shows what each area does and how to finish your first project quickly.

What You'll Learn

• How the top bar, sidebar, bottom bar, and canvas work together.

Left Sidebar

• Image Manager helps you manage your working image.
• Adjust, AI Tools, Text, Graphics, Effects, and Overlay are your main creative panels.
• History helps you review and return to previous edit states.
• Utility shortcuts like Bulk Watermark, RAW File Viewer, and DPI Converter open in dedicated tools.

Bottom Bar

Common Issues

Why is Save disabled?

Save actions require an active image in the editor. Upload a file first.

Why is a panel unavailable?

Most creative panels activate after you upload an image.

Why does export take longer for some formats?

Export time can vary based on image dimensions, selected quality settings, and overall project complexity.
