Looks pretty good. Have you considered turning this into a Chrome extension?

I've not found a simple photo editor extension that I can use within Chrome. Ideally I'd just like to right click on photos, do simple crop/resize/quality/colour conversions and have the results available for insertion into gmail attachments or form uploads (via a temp URL perhaps?).

This would replace my current workflow...often I find myself receiving a set of images in gmail, downloading them, performing trivial manipulation with Windows photo editor or paintbrush, saving the results with sensible encoding/quality (some ppl forward me bitmaps...) then re-uploading the results.

Is some thing like Polarr online too complex for you, it also has a chrome app (works offline) https://www.polarr.co/

Hi, I have not tried Polarr before.

It looks great, and i'll probably give it a go. However it doesnt improve my workflow - I still have to download my photos from Gmail (or random websites or whatever) and open them in Polarr.

Recall I'm looking for integration with a browser. If it was a Chrome extension, and I could right click on any image, on any webpage, and select 'Open with Polarr', that would be a great start.

Thanks for the suggestion. But I think the app is too simple for that right now. I will continue to improve the app anyway.
