Pics.io allows users to edit and manipulate various types of image files, including PSD, XD, and AI files within the platform itself.
The editor can be opened in preview mode by clicking the Edit button on the left panel menu.
Feature list
You can manipulate images in Pics.io in a similar to Adobe Photoshop way. Some of its features include:
Layers and Masks: The editor allows users to work with layers and masks, which enable them to edit different parts of an image independently.
Image adjustments: Adjust various aspects of the image such as brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue, as well as perform other image editing functions such as cropping, resizing, and rotating.
Filters and Effects: The tool includes a wide range of filters and effects such as blur, sharpening, noise reduction, and distortion, among others.
Text editing: Add and edit the text in their images, choose from a range of fonts, and adjust the font size, color, and style.
File compatibility: It can open and edit many different file types, including PSD, AI, PDF, JPEG, PNG, and SVG.
Overall, it's a versatile and user-friendly photo editing tool that can be used for a wide range of image editing tasks, from basic touch-ups to advanced photo manipulation.
NB! The edit tool is not compatible with Safari, use other browsers to access it.
Insert files
Here are several ways to add a file to your working space:
Copy and paste it on top of the opened file. The newly added file will appear as a new layer.
Drag and drop a file from your local space to the editor to have it added as a new layer.
Save as revision
You can save a file in the editor as a revision or to your local space by following these steps:
Click on the "File" menu in the top left corner of the screen.
Select "Save" or "Export as" depending on whether you want to save changes to an existing file and save it as a new revision or save a new file.
If you selected "Save", the file will be saved as a new revision to the original file.
If you selected Export as", you will be prompted to choose a name and format for the file. Choose the file format you want to save the file in, such as JPEG, PNG, PSD, etc.
Select the location on your computer where you want to save the file.
Click "Save" to save the file.
Download Adobe Illustrator pages separately
To download a particular page of your AI artboard, you would have to turn to our in-built editor to download each page separately within it. Here are the steps to perform:
Locate the needed artboard within the layers (a group can be selected) and select the unit (1).
Press the download button (2) and choose between two available formats: PNG or SVG (3).
Troubleshoot issues
If you face any problems with the built-in editor, such as a blank screen appearing when an asset is opened, or some functionality does not work properly, most likely the issue can be fixed by simple removal of old cookies.
To fix the problem:
find any asset in your library and open it in edit mode;
remove the cookies in use for www.photopea.com and pics.io;
click done to save changes, refresh Pics.io page, and open an asset in the edit mode again
FAQ:
Can I open multiple assets from my library in the same workplace?
The edit tool works only with one asset at a time, meaning when you view your asset and click to open it in the built-in editor, the editor will allow you to work on only one asset that you opened it from. If you want to work on another asset, it should be opened in a separate browser tab. You can't open multiple assets from your library at the same time in the same browser's tab.
However, it does not limit your ability to drag and drop files from your computer into a browser tab with an open editor to add them as layers or new pages.
Why is that so? Because when you save changes to the asset when the work is done, Pics.io saves can only save it as a revision to an asset that you opened the editor from.
I use Incognito mode and the editor does not work. What is the problem?
We do not recommend using our editor in the incognito modes in any browser, as it may block some essential information needed for proper use.
