Image editing and design covers tools for retouching photos, drawing, and preparing graphics for print or screen. The topic mixes desktop apps, browser editors, and small utilities such as background removers, button generators, and animation makers. Some are full suites with layers, masks, and colour management, while others do one job and stop there. Weigh them on file formats, export limits, and licence terms, since a free tool can restrict commercial use and a paid one can still lack the format you need. Also check whether the app runs offline or keeps your files on its own servers.
