Good to know.
Do I need to install anything or create an account?
No account or installation is required to open the photo editor. Use a modern browser with WebAssembly support. A desktop or laptop with a keyboard and mouse provides the most practical editing workspace.
How do I save my work?
Use the editor’s Save or Save As command and keep the downloaded file. Export creates a file for sharing; it may not preserve everything needed for future editing. Do not rely on a browser tab as your only copy. Save before closing, reloading, or switching editors.
Can I type in Amharic?
Yes. The editors include Amharic interface controls, a phonetic Ethiopic keyboard, and an on-screen keyboard. In Amharic typing mode, enter selam followed by Space to write ሰላም. Use Ctrl+Alt+E to switch typing modes. Interface language and typing mode are separate controls.
Do my files or typed content leave my device?
Your documents, images, spreadsheet values and typed text are processed locally in your browser, without uploading them to our servers for editing. Amharic input also runs on your device. Save or export keeps a file on your device. Loading pages, fonts and application assets still makes normal website requests; see the privacy page for details.
Does this have every feature of the desktop Craft apps?
No. These guides describe the pinned browser editions. Desktop services, filesystem workflows, and some media functions may be unavailable. Each editor’s overview lists browser limitations and file-format notes.

Does Photo upload my image for editing?
The browser file picker passes the selected file to the local WebAssembly editing engine. The editing workflow described here does not require a hosted image-processing service.
How do I save my work?
Use Save or Save As for an editable document and confirm the browser download completes. Use Export As for a finished image. Saving does not overwrite the original file on your device automatically.
Can I open Photoshop files?
Yes. PSD and PSB import and export support layered editing. Complex effects, text and unsupported external features may differ, so keep the original and compare important exchanges in the receiving application.
Can I remove a background?
Use a selection tool to isolate the subject, refine the edge, then create a layer mask with Reveal Selection. Inspect fine edges and export to a format such as PNG when transparency is needed.
Can I add text to a photo?
Yes. Point and paragraph text remain editable in type layers. Character and Paragraph controls set font, size, spacing, alignment and color.
Are adjustments destructive?
Adjustment layers keep their settings editable and can be masked or hidden. Direct Image → Adjustments operations modify the selected image content, so choose the workflow intentionally.
Does Photo open iPhone HEIC images?
This browser build enables HEIC/HEIF import. Support covers supported single pictures and grids, with some encoding limitations. HEIC export is unavailable.
Can I edit camera RAW files?
Supported RAW encodings develop into 16-bit RGB. Some unsupported camera encodings open an embedded JPEG preview instead; review the import warning. CR3 uses preview fallback, and JPEG XL-compressed DNG is unsupported in the browser.
Why did an export change my image depth?
Each format has its own capabilities. JPEG and WebP export use 8-bit samples; PNG can retain 16-bit samples, and TIFF or OpenEXR can serve higher-depth workflows. Read conversion warnings before saving.
Will brushes and preferences survive closing the tab?
Preferences use local storage and brushes use browser storage when available. Denied or cleared storage can remove them. These settings are not a backup of your image document.
Does Photo offer generative fill or Photoshop plug-ins?
These guides do not claim generative fill, Photoshop plug-in compatibility, or desktop CLI/MCP features in the browser. The documented selection and retouching tools operate through the local editing engine.
Can I process an entire folder automatically?
The browser interface does not expose folder handles as filesystem paths. You can record and replay actions on documents, but desktop folder batches and droplets are outside this browser guide.
Is every Photoshop feature supported?
No. PhotoCraft is an early-stage editor with substantial editing functionality, but menu coverage does not mean full workflow parity. Check complex PSDs, typography, camera encodings and specialist exports with your actual files.
