The image editor that lives in your browser.

Layers, masks, curves, brushes, 50 templates and a full AI toolkit — with nothing to install, no account to make, and no upload step. Open a tab and start editing.

AI, for real

Drag the slider. These are real, unretouched results.

Every before/after below was produced by heapedit's built-in AI workflows, exactly as you'd get them in the editor — no hand-picked stock imagery, no cleanup afterwards.

A steaming ceramic mug on a wooden table — **Remove Background**One click. The checkerboard is real transparency — export it straight to PNG or WebP.

The same mug with the background removed, transparency shown as a checkerboard — **Remove Background**One click. The checkerboard is real transparency — export it straight to PNG or WebP.

A black-and-white photograph of a classic car parked on a street — **Colorize**Describe the colors you want; the result lands on its own layer, original untouched.

The same photograph, colorized by AI — **Colorize**Describe the colors you want; the result lands on its own layer, original untouched.

Rolling green hills under a flat overcast sky — **Replace Sky**The old sky is auto-segmented and generatively replaced from a one-line description.

The same hills under an AI-generated golden sunset sky — **Replace Sky**The old sky is auto-segmented and generatively replaced from a one-line description.

Generated with the built-in workflows against a stock ComfyUI server. Source photos are AI-generated too — the whole page is reproducible.

The editor

Everything you'd expect from a serious editor.

Not a filter app. heapedit is built like the desktop tools you already know — documents are stacks of layers, every edit is undoable, and the deep cuts are here: curves per channel, clone stamp, blend modes, smart filters.

Templates

Start from the right canvas, not a blank one.

50 templates with platform-correct sizes and safe-zone guides where each platform overlays its own UI — plus Mac and iPhone wallpapers at native panel resolution, so the export is directly usable. Every card below opens that template in the editor.

The New Document gallery showing 26 social media templates with sizes and descriptions — **Social, print, parties, wallpapers**Instagram, YouTube, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, TikTok — at the sizes those platforms actually want.

AI, on your terms

Bring your own AI server.

heapedit's AI tools connect to a ComfyUI server you run — on your own hardware, under your own control. There's no hosted service in the middle, no quota, and no image ever sent to anyone but you. Every feature's workflow is swappable: paste your own ComfyUI graph and it runs instead of the built-in one.

Setup is two steps: start ComfyUI with --enable-cors-header, paste its address into AI Settings. Everything else works without any server at all.

Questions

The short version.

Is it really free?

Yes. The editor is free to use with no account, no trial clock and no watermark on exports. It runs entirely in your browser tab.

Where do my images go?

Nowhere. There is no upload step — files are opened and edited locally in the tab, and saving writes back to your device. The only network traffic the editor ever makes for your images is to an AI server you configured, if you use the AI tools.

What do I need for the AI features?

A ComfyUI server you run yourself — a gaming PC or an Apple Silicon Mac works. Start it with --enable-cors-header, paste its address into AI Settings, done. Everything outside the AI menu works with no server at all. See the AI server setup guide for exactly which custom nodes and models each feature needs.

Can I use my own ComfyUI workflows?

Yes. Every AI feature's workflow is swappable per feature — paste your own graph in AI Settings and heapedit runs it instead of the built-in one, feeding it the same image and mask inputs.

Private by architecture

Your images never leave your device.

All editing happens in the browser tab — there's no upload, no account, and no server-side processing to trust. Close the tab and nothing is left behind but your own saved files.
