TUI Image Editor

Purpose-built for frontend developers and UI engineers, this tool provides a client-side image editing workflow that runs entirely in the browser. It accepts an image from a local file or a URL, and exposes a programmatic surface for common operations such as cropping, resizing, rotating, flipping, and basic color adjustments. The implementation relies on the HTML canvas API to render a preview, helping developers prototype image-centric features directly within Angular StackBlitz demonstrations without server round-trips. The approach emphasizes immediate feedback, reproducible results, and integration-ready code samples that can be copied into real projects.

Conceptually, edits are performed on a non-destructive preview stack; the original image remains unchanged while a live edit stack records parameters. As users adjust inputs, the tool computes the corresponding affine transforms (crop mapping, scaling, and rotation around the image center) and re-renders the result. Export options convert the final canvas state to common formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP) with controllable quality. Optional enhancements such as simple filters or drawing overlays can be applied on top of edits, and an undo/redo mechanism supports iterative experimentation.

Audience includes frontend developers, design prototypers, educators, and teams validating image workflows in StackBlitz. Unique value lies in a dependency-free, browser-only pipeline with clear code samples for Angular integration, enabling rapid iteration and demonstration of image editing features in a live coding environment. The tool is not a server-side editor and does not implement advanced photo retouching, but it covers essential editing tasks for early-stage UI work.
