No ads. No subscriptions. Just pure image-editing goodness.
NPS Image Editor is a completely free image editor with no strings attached. There are no distracting ads to bother you and no spyware collecting data about your usage habits. It's yours to use forever without subscriptions or mandatory internet access.
Familiar simplicity
Let's keep simple things simple! Grab the corners of the canvas to resize the image. Create a selection and move it without switching tools. Lift text off your image using the Keyed selection mode, just like the Microsoft Paint you grew up with.
Impressive productivity
Use Ripple Delete to quickly remove parts of your image (instead of selecting, deleting, and then moving pixels around). Hit Print Scr at any time and then "snip" from that screenshot later, or grab a quick snip directly from the Start menu. Pan around the image using your middle mouse button no matter which tool you're using. And create custom document templates and brushes for common operations.
Incredible power
Work with multiple layers for non-destructive editing. Edit transparency with an alpha channel and blend layers with a plethora of blending modes. Work with animated GIFs with both global and per-frame palettes. And apply multiple filters to your image even if the image is in indexed color mode.
You are in control
NPS's user-centric design philosophy puts you first – you tell the program exactly what to do, rather than the program trying to guess what you "actually" want. There are no obnoxious popups, flyouts, or bubbles to distract you while you work. Even the update notification is subtle and won't steal focus.
Color picker
NPS Color Picker can be used on its own as a powerful tool for working with colors while designing web pages. It supports multiple color spaces, copying and pasting common color formats, and grabbing a color from any point on your screen (even in other applications).
