Edit WordPress media in the browser

WP Paint Pro is the paid edition of WP Paint, an HTML5 image editor for WordPress media images. Its interface resembles a desktop photo editor. Editing takes place in a browser and is subject to browser-level limitations.

For everyday edits, manage layers, flip and rotate images, resize or crop them, and add custom text or shapes. You can also apply blur, convert an picture to grayscale, change its hue, and adjust brightness and contrast. These controls can help prepare images for posts, pages and other WordPress content.

Tools included with Pro

• Stickers: Add stickers to decorate an image.
• Watermarks: Place a watermark on a picture to help deter copying.
• Clone tool: Copy pixel regions from one location to another, on the same layer or across layers within an image.
• Revisions: Open older image revisions and restore an earlier version when needed.
• Pixabay search: Link a Pixabay account to search for images and add them to your current work.
• Non-admin access: Let non-admin users access the Pro editor when they have WordPress permission to upload files.

Using WP Paint Pro

Open a WordPress media image in the WP Paint process and pick the utilities needed for the edit. Layers and shapes can help arrange a composite image; text, stickers and watermarks can be used for annotations or decoration. The clone tool copies pixels between locations, including across layers in the same image.

Use revisions to return to an older image version. To add imagery through Pixabay search, link your Pixabay account first. Non-admin customers need upload permission to use the Pro editor.

Editor compatibility

WP Paint is described as compatible with WordPress themes and tested with the Gutenberg editor. It is also expected to work with page builders. Browser-level editing limitations apply.
