Tips & best practices
- Keep a small sample of your photos handy — testing the options on a short input is faster than reworking a large one.
- Use the copy and download actions instead of selecting text manually; they preserve formatting exactly.
- Bookmark Photo Editor so the workspace is one keystroke away during your next session.
- Compare the output at 100% zoom before publishing — small artefacts are invisible at thumbnail size.
- Prefer modern formats such as WebP for the web, and keep a PNG or JPG fallback for older systems.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Pasting partial photos and assuming the result is wrong — always include the full input.
- Ignoring the status messages in the workspace; they explain exactly what went wrong and where.
- Uploading sensitive photos to random online services — Photo Editor never needs to, because it runs on your device.
- Upscaling a small image and expecting extra detail that was never captured.
- Saving photographs as PNG, which produces far larger files than JPG or WebP.
