Will the "free" part quietly become paid later?

The local ones won't — they run on your own device, we never paid for a server for them, so there's no reason to turn them into paid ones. Each call to the cloud ones has a real cost; they come with free credits every day, metered centrally by TutuAgent — it recognises this browser's anonymous identity, so you can use them without signing in.

Do I have to register to use it?

No. Open the page and you can compress, crop, cut out, convert and open PSDs without ever being asked who you are — and the cloud AI needs no sign-up either, with free credits every day. An account is only needed to save a project to the cloud and continue on another machine.

What happens to my images?

With the local tools they never leave your browser, so there's nothing to happen to them — and you can verify that yourself: open the network panel in your developer tools, process a picture, and no request carrying image data appears. The cloud AI features have to send the content in order to compute anything, and the interface says which ones those are before you press.

Is there a paid plan?

The cloud AI has free credits every day, metered centrally by TutuAgent; when they run out, the assistant tells you directly. If what's free ever changes, we'll write it plainly on this page rather than quietly moving something free behind a wall.

What if my cloud credits run out?

With TutuNode installed, that turn carries on on your own computer automatically; if your computer is offline, you can also borrow idle GPUs across the network. Cloud credits refresh the next day.

Is AI photo editing free? Local is unlimited, cloud has free credits every day

No hedging: local costs nothing and has no limit, cloud has free credits every day, and neither needs an account. Here's the line, item by item.

or start a blank document

The short answer: nearly everything on this site runs in your own browser — no account, no limit, no charge, because it costs us nothing. The handful computed in the cloud need no sign-up either and come with free credits every day, so light use costs nothing.

Why the line is drawn here. Compression, cropping, rotation, filters and format conversion are pure computation — your own machine handles them fine; even AI cutout runs a model inside the browser (the model file downloads once the first time). None of that costs us a server, so there's no reason to charge you or ask you to register. Text-to-image and its kind call an external large model, and every single call is real money, so those come with free credits every day — metered centrally by TutuAgent, with no second counter on this site. We don't like the "free trial for 3 days" design: it locks up the things that cost nothing too.

Listed one by one

No sign-in · unlimited · works offline

It runs on your own device, so it costs us nothing — which is why there's no charge. Every item is a link you can open and try right now.

Runs in the cloud (no sign-up · free credits every day)

Every call costs real money, so what you get is a free allowance every day, metered centrally by TutuAgent. No sign-in first, no API key to link — conversations of visitors who aren't signed in are cleared after 24 hours; signed-in conversations are kept.

Both groups are generated straight from the code (the where field of the action table), not a hand-written list — a new feature turns up in the right group by itself. So this page can't end up saying "runs on your device" about something that actually sends your image out.

And a third: AI on your own computer

Install TutuNode and the AI runs on your own computer — chat, image generation, image editing, speech, video — free, no usage counting, no expiry.

About local AI models

Key features

Local tools: no charge, unlimited, no account

Compress, resize, crop, rotate, borders, rounded corners, filters, curves, levels, denoise, sharpen, red-eye, skin retouch, pixelate, collage, long images, GIF, format conversion, opening and exporting PSD — all finish in your browser, with no counter; nothing is uploaded while you're signed out, and once you sign in your work is saved automatically to your own cloud projects.

The AI cut-out is local too

People often assume "AI" means "cloud". Not this one: the model runs inside your browser (the model file downloads once and is cached afterwards), the image never leaves, and it uses no credits.

Cloud AI: no sign-up, free credits every day

Text-to-image, batch generation and AI commands send text only; these 10 — old photo restore, colorize, replace background, ID photo, upscale, beautify, decorate and de-age, plus Split into editable layers and Edit text in image — send the layer you selected to the cloud. All of them need no sign-in first, no card, and work in any region — with free credits every day, metered centrally by TutuAgent, no second counter here; when they run out, the assistant tells you directly.

Running out doesn't block the rest

Cloud credits and local tools don't affect each other. When your cloud credits run out, compression, cropping, cutout, upscaling and every editing feature keep working, not a single use less; the credits are metered centrally by TutuAgent, and the assistant tells you directly when they run out.

How to use

1
Start from what you want to do

If it's "do something to a picture I already have", it's almost certainly a local tool — just use it, no account.
2
Only "make something from nothing" or "let AI change your picture" goes to the cloud

Text-to-image, batch generation and AI commands send text only; old photo restore, colorize, replace background and the rest of those 10 send the layer you selected — in the AI panel they carry a cloud icon next to their title, visible before you press. No sign-in, free credits every day.
3
Register if you want it on another device

Registering is free and takes under a minute. After that your projects can live in the cloud and follow you to another machine; the AI features never needed an account.
4
Come back to this page any time

The two panels above list what is computed on your device and what is sent to the cloud — the entries with a link can be opened and checked on the spot.
