FAQ

Questions, answered.

24 answers covering everything from getting started to advanced export options.

How do I upload an image?

Click the Upload button or drag-and-drop an image file directly onto the canvas. We support JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF up to 25 MB per file.

Do I need an account?

No. Change Image Shape works entirely in your browser with no signup required. Your work stays on your device.

Is Change Image Shape free?

Yes, the full editor is free to use. There are no paid tiers or hidden features.

Which browsers are supported?

The latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge — on desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Where are my images stored?

Nowhere except your own device. All processing happens in your browser via Canvas APIs. We never see, store, or transmit your images.

Do you use analytics or tracking?

No third-party tracking, no analytics scripts, no cookies — by design.

Can I use Change Image Shape offline?

Once the page is loaded, most features work without an internet connection. Fonts may degrade gracefully to system defaults.

How many shapes are included?

Over 45 shapes across 6 categories: Popular, Basic, Geometric, Stars, Symbols, and Organic.

Can I generate random organic shapes?

Yes. The Organic category includes preset shapes, and the editor has a "Random Shape" generator that creates unique organic shapes with a deterministic seed.

What filter presets are available?

Six one-tap presets: Original, B&W, Sepia, Vintage, Cool, and Warm. Each applies a combination of CSS filters and stacks with your manual adjustments.

How many images can I load at once?

Up to 5 images simultaneously. Each retains its own shape, adjustments, and effects.

Can I drag the image inside the mask?

Yes — click and drag (or single-finger drag on touch). Use the Position controls for pixel-perfect placement.

How does canvas zoom work?

Scroll/pinch zoom is contained to the canvas — it never zooms the whole page. Use the toolbar buttons or keyboard +/- for precise control.

Can I undo my changes?

Use the Reset button to restore default adjustments. Multi-step undo is on the roadmap.

Which export formats are supported?

PNG (lossless with transparency), WebP (best compression), JPEG (smallest, no transparency), and SVG (vector mask).

How do I export at higher resolution?

In the Export panel, set a custom Width and Height (up to 4000 px) or use a preset like HD (1920×1080) for larger output.

Can I export all images at once?

Yes — click "Export All as ZIP" to bundle every loaded image into a single archive.

How do I get a transparent background?

In the Background panel, select "Transparent" and export as PNG, WebP, or SVG (JPEG does not support transparency).

Does Change Image Shape work on phones?

Yes — the editor is fully responsive. On mobile, the controls appear in bottom-sheet modals with live preview thumbnails.

Why does the modal cover my image on mobile?

Drag the modal handle down to enter compact mode (25% height), revealing your canvas. A live preview thumbnail also remains visible in the modal at all times.

Can I use my phone camera?

Yes — tap upload and your browser will offer the camera as a source.

My image looks blurry — why?

Very small source images upscale poorly. Try uploading at a higher resolution, or reduce the canvas zoom level.

The editor is slow with large images.

For files over 5 MB or 4000×4000 px, downscale before uploading. The browser canvas has memory limits, especially on mobile.

My export looks different from the preview.

Make sure the preview is fully rendered before exporting. Try refreshing if you suspect a caching issue.
