Picut exists so that everyday image work — cropping, resizing, compressing, converting, annotating — doesn't require an account, an upload, or an install. Open a page, drop an image, get the result.
How it works
The editor keeps a lightweight model of your document (layers, transforms, adjustments) separate from the renderer that draws it and from the processing engine that applies pixel effects in Web Workers. Undo and redo are built from small commands rather than full-image copies, so history stays cheap even for large photos.
What it doesn't do (yet)
- AI features such as background removal and AI upscaling are not available. The code is prepared for local models, but nothing is faked.
- Selections, layer masks and retouching brushes (clone, heal, smudge) are not implemented yet.
- Animated GIFs open as a still first frame.
