Photo Editing Service
Upload your photos, tell us exactly what to fix, and pay once. Our editor retouches them by hand and emails the finished result straight back to you.
We have your photos and payment. Our editor will retouch them and email the finished result to your inbox. Most orders are returned within a few business days.
Back to homeImgKit's manual photo editing service connects you with a human editor who retouches your photos by hand and emails the finished files to your inbox. It is the right choice when automated tools cannot get the result you want — complex background or object removal, detailed portrait retouching, colour correction, or restoring old and damaged photos.
Three steps from upload to finished photos. No app to install, no queue to wait in.
Enter your email and tell us what to fix — background removal, retouching, colour correction, or restoring a photo.
Add up to 10 images (JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIC), each up to 25 MB.
Pay once through Stripe. Our editor retouches the photos by hand and emails the finished result to your inbox.
Tell us what you need. Common requests include:
Cut out tricky backgrounds that automatic tools miss, or drop in a new one.
Erase distractions, stray objects, or unwanted people from a scene.
Soften skin, brighten eyes, whiten teeth, and tidy hair without looking fake.
Fix exposure, white balance, and faded or uneven colour.
Repair creases, stains, and scratches, and bring faded memories back to life.
Prepare low-resolution photos for crisp prints.
Combine several photos into one clean composition.
Remove or add text, dates, and logos.
ImgKit also offers free browser tools that edit images automatically. Use them for routine fixes; choose the manual service when the result needs a human eye.
Upload your photos, describe the edits you want, and pay once at checkout. A human editor retouches the images by hand and emails the finished files to your inbox — usually within a few business days.
Background removal or replacement, object and people removal, portrait and skin retouching, colour correction and exposure fixes, old-photo restoration, sharpening and upscaling for print, and combining several photos into one composition.
JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, or HEIC files up to 25 MB each, with up to 10 photos per order.
The browser tools (photo enhancer, background remover, watermark remover) handle routine edits automatically and instantly. The manual service is for edits those tools cannot do well — complex backgrounds, precise object removal, detailed retouching, or restoring damaged photos.
Most orders are returned within a few business days. Very complex or high-volume orders may take longer, and we will let you know if that is the case.
Your photos are shared only with the editing team to fulfil your order. They are not published, sold, or used for training, and are removed after delivery unless you ask us to keep them.
