Yes. Core editing is free with no watermark and no mandatory signup. Fifteen of the sixteen tools are free to use; only the AI Art Generator costs coins (1 coin per generated image), because it runs a paid AI model.

Do I need to install anything?

No. Zebra runs in any modern web browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Edge). There is also an optional iOS app.

Is there a file size or resolution limit?

The web editor handles typical phone photos (up to about 20 megapixels) without issue. Background removal runs at full resolution and preserves output dimensions.

What languages does Zebra support?

11 languages: English, Russian, German, Spanish, French, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Italian, Portuguese, and Turkish.

Does Zebra store my photos?

Photos are processed to deliver the service. Background removal uses a cloud AI model for inference. Most other tools run client-side in the browser. See zebra.tg for the latest privacy details.

Can I use Zebra commercially?

Yes. You can use exported images for personal or commercial projects.

Is there an Android app?

Not at this time. The web editor works on Android browsers; a native iOS app is available.

How does Zebra compare to Photoshop?

Zebra is a free, single-purpose editor focused on fast one-off edits. Photoshop is a professional tool with a much broader and more complex feature set. Zebra is designed for users who want to quickly remove a background, apply a filter, or add a text bubble without opening desktop software.

Is the photo effects tool free?

Yes. Zebra's photo effects editor is completely free to use, with no signup required and no watermark added to your images.

What effects can I apply?

You can apply a glitch effect (including RGB split, slicing, and scanlines), plus scratch, bloom, and scanline effects. Each one has an adjustable intensity slider.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The editor runs in your phone's web browser, so you can add effects on mobile without installing an app.

Are my photos private?

Yes. The effects are applied right in your browser, so your photos are processed on your own device rather than uploaded to a server.

What look is this tool best for?

It's best for retro and VHS-style images, glitch art, and the vaporwave aesthetic, which makes it a good fit for eye-catching, creative social media posts.

Do I need to create an account?

No. You can upload a photo, apply effects, and download the result without signing up or logging in.
