Looking for a light, free photo editor with filters and text tools? PhotoFiltre combines selection and drawing tools with image adjustments, and supports formats such as RAW, WebP, JPEG 2000, and HDR.
How do selections and layers shape an edit?
PhotoFiltre’s selection tools let you isolate an area of an image before applying a change. Layers provide a way to keep image elements separate while arranging a composition, such as a photo with added text or graphic details.
For everyday photo work, the editing flow can include cropping or resizing, adjusting color, and applying a filter. Drawing tools add marks or details directly to an image.
What formats and text effects does PhotoFiltre support?
The program handles RAW, WebP, JPEG 2000, and HDR images. External converters can extend opening and saving support to formats including AVIF, HEIC, HEIF, PDF, and CR3. PhotoFiltre also includes an option for placing text in a circle.
Where do filters fit into the workflow?
Filters change an image’s appearance; combined with a selection they affect only the chosen region.
