WP Paint Pro

Image editing in WordPress

WP Paint Pro is the paid edition of WP Paint, a browser-based HTML5 editor for images in the WordPress media library. Its interface resembles a desktop photo editor, while editing remains subject to browser-level limitations.

Everyday picture controls

Manage layers, flip or rotate images, resize and crop them, and add custom text or shapes. The editor also supports blur, grayscale, hue, brightness and contrast adjustments for preparing media for posts, pages and other WordPress content.

Tools added in Pro

• Stickers and watermarks: Add stickers to images or place a watermark on a picture to help protect it from copying.
• Clone tool: Copy pixel regions from one location to another, on the same layer or between various layers in an image.
• Revisions: Open older image revisions and restore an earlier version when needed.
• Pixabay search: Link a Pixabay account to search for images and add them to the current edit.
• Access for non-admin visitors: Users with WordPress permission to upload documents can use the Pro editor.

Editor process and compatibility

After activation, the WP Paint workflow adds an “Edit Image using WP Paint” link beside “Edit Image” in media browsers. The add-on description reports testing with Gutenberg and says it should work with WordPress themes and page builders.
