A free photo editor with no ads
Grainhouse is a full photo editor in your browser that never shows ads, never asks you to sign up and never uploads your pictures. It’s paid for by people who choose to buy Pro once, not by your attention.
Everything in the free editor
Layers that stay editable
Layers with blend modes and opacity, plus adjustment layers for brightness, colour, blur and looks that you can change later.
Film looks and grain
Warm film, Faded, Vivid and Mono in one click, plus film grain and vignette.
Retouching tools
Dodge and burn, clone stamp, brushes, shapes, text and crop.
Guided recipes
Step-by-step help for common jobs: fix a dark photo, make a profile picture, remove a small spot.
Clean exports
PNG and JPEG at full size, with no watermark.
Works offline
Install it from your browser’s menu and it opens without a connection.
Why there are no ads
Ads in an editor cost you twice: they slow the page and they pull your eye away from your photo. Ad-funded tools also tend to need tracking and accounts. Grainhouse makes its money a simpler way: the editor is free, and people who want more buy Pro once. That keeps the screen calm and your photos private.

Questions
Is Grainhouse really free without ads?
Yes. The full editor is free and shows no ads at all, now or later. It is paid for by Grainhouse Pro, an optional one-time purchase.
Do I need an account?
No. Open the editor and start. There is nothing to sign up for, even if you buy Pro: you get a license key by email.
Are my photos uploaded?
No. The editor runs in your browser and works on your own device. Your recent work is saved only in your browser.
Does it add a watermark?
No. Exports are clean PNG or JPEG files at full size.
What do I get with Pro?
Four more film looks, 50 saved edits instead of 3, and WebP export at any size and quality, for a one-time €19 (launch price). No subscription.
