Everything You Need, Nothing You Don't
This is a focused image editor built around the tools people actually use. Open an image, annotate it, mark up a screenshot, draw a quick diagram, or start from a blank canvas and sketch something — without launching a 500MB desktop application or signing up for a web service. The toolset is deliberately small: brush, eraser, fill, color picker, text, and three shapes. Each tool does one thing well. There's no layer panel to learn, no filter library to scroll through, no AI features to disable. Just paint.
Why Browser-Based?
Most image editors are either heavyweight desktop apps (Photoshop, GIMP, Krita) or cloud services that require uploads and accounts. This editor takes a different approach: it runs entirely in your browser using the HTML5 Canvas API. Your drawing exists as canvas pixels in memory, manipulated by JavaScript, and saved directly to your device via the browser's download API. No upload, no account, no installation. It works offline once loaded, supports both mouse and touch, and produces a standard PNG file you can use anywhere.
Keyboard Shortcuts
The editor supports single-key shortcuts for switching tools and standard Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y for undo and redo. B for brush, E for eraser, G for fill bucket, I for color picker (eyedropper), T for text, L for line, R for rectangle, O for ellipse. These are the same shortcuts used in most paint applications, so the muscle memory transfers. The current tool is always visible in the toolbar, and hovering over any tool shows its keyboard shortcut as a tooltip.
Saving and Sharing
When you're done, click Save PNG and the canvas is exported as a transparent PNG file. The transparent areas (the checkerboard pattern in the editor) remain transparent in the saved file, so you can place your drawing on any background — a document, a presentation, a social media post, or another image. The file downloads with a timestamp-based name so multiple saves don't overwrite each other. There's no gallery, no account, no cloud storage — the file goes straight to your downloads folder where it belongs.
