free online AI photo editor with local canvas and transparent AI credits

Hi Indie Hackers,

I'm building ImgLoop, a browser-based AI photo editor that opens without sign-up. The idea came from frustration with online editors that demand an account before you can even crop an image. I wanted a tool where you can upload a JPG, PNG, or WebP file up to 20 MB and start editing immediately.

Local tools like crop, rotate, brush, erase, and text run directly in the browser and cost 0 credits. For AI edits, you describe a cleanup, background change, relight, restoration, or style change, and the cost is shown before you submit. AI results use model-based credits, ranging from 1 to 17 credits depending on the model. Guests get 2 one-time lifetime credits that never reset.

Privacy is a core part of the design. Uploads stay in the browser until an AI request is made, and images are never automatically placed in a public feed. The free plan is $0. Paid plans start at $14.99/month for 500 credits, with Pro at $29.99/month for 1,200 credits and Ultra at $59.99/month for 2,400 credits. Annual billing is available too.

I'm sharing this because I'd love feedback from the Indie Hackers community: what would make a no-sign-up photo editor more useful for you? Are there workflows or AI edits you'd like to see next?

Thanks for reading.
