Does AI photo editing cost anything?

The local tier is completely free, unlimited and needs no account — AI cutout, smart upscale, content-aware fill, content-aware scale, sky replacement and AI expand all live there. The two cloud tiers have a daily free quota: AI image generation and AI commands work for guests; AI photo restoration, colorization and scene editing need sign-in. Running out of quota does not affect the local features.

Will my photo be uploaded to a server?

Almost never. Local AI runs entirely in the browser and sends nothing; AI image generation and AI commands send only the sentence you typed. Only AI photo restoration, colorization and scene editing send the image to the cloud — all three are clearly labelled and require sign-in first.

Can it really edit "automatically", with no tweaking from me?

Yes, with a clear boundary. The AI command bar maps your sentence to a feature and carries the image over with default parameters. It won't judge whether a photo looks good — taste decisions are still yours, made against the before/after view. For fully hands-off work on many files, use the batch compress and batch resize tools.

How does it compare with Photoshop's AI?

Different trade-offs. Photoshop's generative fill relies on a cloud model: a higher ceiling, but it needs a subscription, a login, and your image uploaded. TutuEdit puts everything that doesn't need a large model (cutout, upscale, content-aware fill, expand) in your browser, free and unlimited, and sends only the few that do. Nothing to install — it opens in a browser tab.

AI photo editing: say what you want, it does the rest

Local AI is free and unlimited. Cloud AI has a daily free quota. Every feature says which tier it belongs to.

Try: compress it · remove the background · convert to PNG · make an ID photo · restore an old photo

Most "AI photo editor" pages tell you how smart they are but not where your photo goes. This one does the opposite: first which AI runs in your own browser (not a single byte uploaded), which goes to the cloud, and only then the results.

The AI command bar is the way in — no need to pick a tool first. Type "this is too big to send" or "make the background white" and it works out what you mean, opens the right tool and brings your image along. Common phrasings are matched locally, costing no quota at all.

Key features

Say it in plain words, skip the tool hunt

"too dark", "remove the background", "convert to PNG" — the AI command bar maps that to a real feature. Most phrasings hit a local keyword table: zero latency, zero quota. Only what it can't match goes to the cloud classifier.

Local AI: free, unlimited, image never leaves

AI cutout uses an in-browser WASM model (@imgly/background-removal). Smart upscale, content-aware fill, content-aware scale, sky replacement and AI expand also run locally. No account, no daily cap.

Cloud AI: labelled on the page, no surprises

AI image generation and AI commands send only the text you typed; your image stays local, and guests get a daily free quota. AI photo restoration, colorization and scene editing need sign-in and do send the image — all three are labelled up front, so you never hit a login wall halfway through.

AI result isn't the end — keep editing by hand

One click into the pro editor with layers, masks, curves and brushes. If the AI cutout missed an edge, touch it up instead of starting over.

How to use

1
Drop your image in

Drag, click to pick, or just paste with Ctrl+V. It opens in your browser and never touches a server.
2
Type what you want done

Things like "remove the background", "get it under 1 MB", "this photo is too dark". Or skip this and pick a tool below.
3
Check before/after, adjust if needed

Every tool shows original vs result (slider, side-by-side, or press-and-hold). Tweak parameters as often as you like; undo is always there.
4
Download, or move to the pro editor

Save the result, or carry it into the pro editor in one click for layer and mask work.
