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.

How do you tag in iMessage?

iMessage itself has no built-in photo tag, so people recreate the look here: upload your photo, click "Add tag," type your label, and drag the pill onto the spot you want to mark. This adds the same iMessage tag style — a rounded pill with a small arrow — to any image.

Is the tag generator free?

Yes. The tag tool runs entirely in your browser — no signup, no watermark, no usage limit on the free tier.

What file formats are supported?

You can upload JPG, PNG, WebP, or HEIC up to 20 MB. Output is a high-resolution JPG or PNG.

Are my photos uploaded to a server?

No. Tag rendering happens in your browser using HTML5 canvas. Your photo never leaves your device.

Can I use custom fonts?

Pick from 10 built-in fonts — Inter, Druk, Avenir, Geologica, Soyuz, and others — covering both Latin and Cyrillic scripts.
