Question 1

Is SimpleSnip really free?

Accepted Answer

Yes — SimpleSnip is 100% free, with no account, no watermark, no sign-up and no usage limits. It is an open, browser-based photo editor you can use as often as you like.

Question 2

Is SimpleSnip a good Photoshop alternative?

Accepted Answer

For everyday editing, yes. SimpleSnip brings Photoshop-style essentials — layers, magic-wand and lasso selections, masking, brush and eraser, free transform, filters and text — into your browser for free. It is not meant to replace every professional or print feature of Photoshop, but it covers what most people need.

Question 3

Do my photos get uploaded anywhere?

Accepted Answer

No. Every edit runs locally in your browser on the HTML canvas, so your images never leave your device and nothing is sent to a server. It is a privacy-first photo editor.

Question 4

Do I need to download or install anything?

Accepted Answer

No. SimpleSnip is fully web-based and runs in any modern browser — there is nothing to download, install or update.

Question 5

What image formats can I edit?

Accepted Answer

You can open PNG, JPG, WebP and GIF images, and export your finished work as PNG, JPEG or WebP at up to 2x scale.

Question 6

Can I use SimpleSnip on a phone or tablet?

Accepted Answer

It works best on a desktop or laptop and is usable on tablets. Editing on small phone screens is limited for now.
