GNOME Image Editor

About This Tool

Purpose-built for GNOME on Linux, this tool enables fast, offline image editing on local files. It supports importing common raster formats (PNG, JPEG, TIFF) and exporting back to PNG, JPEG, or TIFF with configurable quality. Core operations include crop, resize, rotate, and alignment; brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, and white-balance adjustments; sharpening and blur; as well as simple non-destructive filters that preserve the original data when enabled.

Conceptually, edits are expressed as a sequence of geometric and color-transform operations applied to a pixel grid. Resizing uses bilinear interpolation; cropping uses exact coordinates; rotation supports standard angles; color adjustments apply linear scaling in sRGB space with optional gamma-correct handling. Operations can be chained and exported independently, with an explicit edit log for reproducibility. Memory usage is bounded by input size and chosen settings, with safeguards for large files.

Intended users include developers preparing UI assets, photographers maintaining local workflows, and designers on GNOME who value privacy and speed. Differentiators include offline processing, GNOME-aligned experience, and a focus on essential edits without cloud services. Optional batch processing and scripting-friendly options improve efficiency for routine image tasks.
