About
Last updated 23 September 2026.
EditableImage takes a picture of something that used to be editable — a slide, a diagram, a poster, a page of text — and gives back a file you can edit again: a .pptx with real text boxes, a .drawio diagram whose connectors still follow their nodes, a layered PSD, or text that keeps the formatting it had. It is built and run by River, an independent developer, and it is the whole product: there is no larger suite behind it.
Why it exists
The file that made a picture is the thing that goes missing first. Someone sends a screenshot of the deck instead of the deck. The designer who had the layered original has moved on. The diagram everyone refers to exists only in a photograph of a whiteboard. Rebuilding one of those by hand is an hour of work that ends up slightly wrong — the type is a little off, the spacing drifted, the colours are close.
Recovering it by measurement is a minute of waiting that ends up close enough to correct in a few clicks. That is the trade this site is built around.
How the recovery works
Most tools that read an image ask a model what it sees and rebuild from that description, which is why the result comes back close rather than right. This one measures instead: layout parsing finds where things are, and size, weight, colour and alignment are taken from your own pixels. Pixels are generated only where they genuinely have to be — behind a layer that moved, or for words that changed.
It does not recover the original typeface, and each tool page says where its own recovery is weak. That is the honest limit of working from an image.
Your files
An upload and everything built from it are deleted after 24 hours, are never published, and a run is never charged for before it happens. Processing sends your image to specialist providers, whose own terms govern what they keep — the privacy page sets out all of it, and pricing lists what each tool costs.
