Image Editor runs in your browser. There is no EXE or DMG to download and no sign-up is required for images on your computer. Google Workspace Marketplace installation is optional and connects Image Editor to Google Drive.
The public Image Editor Marketplace listing is an owner-operated release prerequisite and is not linked until Google publishes the approved listing. This page will link directly to it when it is live.
You'll be asked to grant permissions so Image Editor can open and save files in Google Drive. Image Editor uses the limited drive.file scope: it can only see the specific files you pick or create with it, never your whole Drive. The FAQ covers which permissions are requested and what each one does.
Once installed, Image Editor appears in Google Drive. Select a supported image and choose Open with > Image Editor. Save writes a supported PNG, JPEG, or WebP back to Drive when you have edit access; converted formats begin with Save As.
Go to imageeditor.app in a current version of Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Firefox, or Safari. Open or create an image locally without a Google account. The editor provides crop, rotate, resize, filters, fine-tuning, annotation, decoration, fill, frames, redaction, Undo, Redo, and system, light, and dark themes.
Your edits stay in your browser. In Chromium browsers, eligible PNG, JPEG, and WebP files can save back in place after permission and conflict checks. Firefox and Safari use a download or Save As flow. A separate browser recovery draft helps protect unsaved edits when storage is available.
When the listing is published, Workspace admins can install Image Editor for an entire domain from Google Workspace Marketplace. The requested security scopes are documented in the FAQ.
If your organization restricts third-party apps, you'll first need to allowlist Image Editor in the Google Admin console.
Image Editor is a web app. Decoding, editing, and rendering happen in your browser, not on an Image Editor server. That is why there is no traditional desktop installer; Marketplace installation only connects the app to your Google account and Drive entry points.
If you run into issues opening files or launching the editor, check the Help page or FAQ for common fixes. If you still need help, contact Support.
