Build a Web-Based Photo Editing Platform (Like Canva Lite)
Create an intuitive web platform where users can upload images, add text, shapes, stickers, apply filters, and export their final designs easily — ideal for social media posts, flyers, and personal projects.Desktop photo editors like Photoshop are too heavy for casual users. There’s a growing demand for easy, fast, and browser-based photo editing tools that offer simple drag-and-drop operations, basic design templates, and one-click export capabilities — all without needing downloads.
Build a browser-based drag-and-drop editor where users can upload images, add elements (text, shapes, icons), apply filters (brightness, contrast, saturation), crop/resize images, and download the final edited design — all using simple and intuitive UI/UX.
No Installation Needed
Runs directly in the browser — users can start editing photos immediately without installing any software.
Simple Drag-and-Drop Editor
Users can drag elements onto the canvas, move, resize, rotate, and delete them easily with intuitive interactions.
Filters, Text, and Shape Tools
Apply filters like grayscale, brightness adjustment, add custom text, draw shapes, and style elements dynamically.
Downloadable Designs
Users can export their edited designs as PNG, JPEG, or SVG files with one-click export features.
Users upload an image or select a canvas size. They add text, icons, or images onto the canvas, apply styling (fonts, colors, filters), arrange elements, and export their final artwork. No backend is strictly needed unless user projects are saved for later edits.
- Upload or start with a blank canvas (select width/height or choose preset like Instagram post, YouTube thumbnail).
- Add layers like text, icons, stickers, and modify properties like size, color, opacity, rotation.
- Apply image filters such as brightness, contrast, grayscale using canvas manipulation libraries.
- Arrange, group, duplicate, or delete layers through a layer manager panel.
- Export the final design to a downloadable file format (PNG, JPG, SVG).
