Integrates with your favourite stack
Pintura Image Editor is written in vanilla JavaScript and has zero dependencies. It ships with multiple adapter components to facilitate fast integration with popular frameworks like jQuery, React, Vue, Angular, and Svelte.

The editor layout automatically updates to best fit the available space. Pintura Image Editor ships with intuitive interaction patterns like multi-touch resizing and inertia dragging, it feels native on mobile, tablet, and desktop.
Overlay crop guides
Visually indicate how to make the perfect crop. Whether it's rendering a circular or rounded rectangle overlay to indicate profile picture bounds, or indicating print bleed margins, the shape API has got you covered.
Lock crop aspect ratio
Be sure customer images always conform to your requirements and fit perfectly by defining a fixed aspect ratio or by supplying a list of preset aspect ratios.
Use without UI
Don't need a user interface? Pintura Image Editor can run in headless mode. Import the processImage method and you can use the full Pintura Image Editor SDK programatically.
Freely rotate, flip, and scale images
Rotate, resize and flip pictures to make the perfect crop. Scale images using the mouse wheel, touch-pad, or mobile multi-touch input.
Powerful annotation tools
Draw rectangles, circles, lines, arrows, and text. Rotate, resize, duplicate and z-order annotations. Freedraw with a sharpie. Control which tools are available, which colors and custom fonts can be choosen from, and much more.
Force crop inside the image bounds
Pintura Image Editor will automatically adjust zoom and position while rotating and scaling to make sure the crop is inside the bounds of the input image. Of course this can be disabled just like any other feature.
Beautiful preset filters
Choose from a growing set of carefully crafted filters. Extend the default filters with your own filters and the Pintura Image Editor interface will update automatically.
Powerful color controls
Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, saturation, clarity, and gamma. Need more control, extend the default finetune controls with your own.
Censor information in images
Make it easier for customers to censor sensitive information in their images. Pintura applies a secure image blurring algorithm to make sure data is sufficiently scrambled and cannot be recovered.

Art direction with shape templates
The Markup Shape API enables programmatic control over how shapes can be manipulated. Lock shapes in place, prevent changing the style of a shape, or only allow updating the text.
Edit video in the browser
The Video Editor extension adds video cropping, color effects, color adjustment, trimming, and clipping to Pintura. Generate output video's on the client leveraging native browser APIs.
