JavaScript painting plugin which allows editing images in a browser. Can be easily integrated into any website or webapp by including only one JS file and calling simple initialization code.
- Paste image from clipboard with
Ctrl+V(e.g.PtnScrscreenshot), drag and drop it into widget, or load with file select dialog - Crop image by defined area
- Paint primitives: line, rectangle, ellipse (alpha color can be used)
- Add text (you can use
Ctrl+B- bold,Ctrl+I- italic,Ctrl+U- underlined, or just pase formatted HTML) - Rotate / resize, scale image
- Pixelize some area to hide sensitive data
- Draw arrows
- It is lightweight and minimalistic - written with vanilla JS, you don't need dependencies to use it
- Designed to process images with minimal clicks, most actions support hot-keys
- Could be easily integrated into SPA application (React, Vue, Angular)
- Could be used in Electron and Cordova apps
- Flexibale image saving - you provide your save handler, and get base64 data with any jpeg/png compression
- Could be translated to any language
Originally Painterro was designed for quick screenshots processing: You make screenshot by pressing PrtSc button,
then open Painterro on your website, paste an image with Ctrl+V,
crop it to interested area, highlight something with line/rectangle tool and/or add some text
to the image and save on server with custom save handler (e.g. simple XHR request to your backend).
In addition, you can use Painterro as image editor for any kind of raster images. Please try a demo.
Also painterro has Wordpress Plugin.
If you want to see some feature in Painterro, please leave (or vote for) an issue here. There is no promise that it will be implemented soon or ever, but it is interesting to know what features users want to have.
If you have npm-based project (e.g. SPA like React/Vue) you can run:
npm install painterro --saveThen in your code
importPainterrofrom'painterro'
...
Painterro().show()You can download latest painterro-*.min.js here https://github.com/devforth/painterro/releases/
or build it by yourself.
Then insert <script> e.g:
<scriptsrc="/xxx/painterro-x.x.x.min.js"></script>Then in your code:
<script>Painterro().show()</script>See fiddle example
To be able to save edited images on server or client see Saving image. For configurations see Configuration

Example:
varp=Painterro()p.show()Want to translate Painterro into your language?
If you need one of languages in table below, just pass pass language parameter, for example:
Painterro({language: 'es'// Spanish}).show()Translated languages:
language param | Name |
|---|---|
ca | Catalan |
fa | Iran-Farsi (Persian (Ir-Fa) |
fr | French |
en | English |
es | Spanish |
pt-PT | European Portuguese |
pt-BR | Brazilian Portuguese |
If you want to add another language, then fork. Create file in folder langs for your translation and copy [langs/en.lang.js] in it. Then translate all 'Strings' and add reference in [js/translation.js]. After that create pull-request, or just open issue
if you don't know how to create a PR.
If you want to translate or change strings without contributing you can do this by passing
translation parameter, for example:
Painterro({translation: {name: 'ua',strings: {apply: 'Застосувати'// other strings}}}).show()For all strings that can be translated, see [langs/en.lang.js]
You should provide your save handler, which will post/update image on server or will pass image to another frontend components.
You can post data with binary multipart/form-data request which is the most efficient way to pass data to backend. Example uses raw XMLHttpRequest. Of course,
you can use fetch, jQuery, etc insead.
varptro=Painterro({saveHandler: function(image,done){varformData=newFormData();formData.append('image',image.asBlob());// you can also pass suggested filename // formData.append('image', image.asBlob(), image.suggestedFileName());varxhr=newXMLHttpRequest();xhr.open('POST','http://127.0.0.1:5000/save-as-binary/',true);xhr.onload=xhr.onerror=function(){done(true);};xhr.send(formData);}})ptro.show();Here is python flask backend example (of course same can be implemented using any technology):
@app.route("/save-as-binary/", methods=['POST'])defbinary_saver():
filename='{:10d}.png'.format(int(time())) # generate some filenamefilepath=os.path.join(get_tmp_dir(), filename)
request.files['image'].save(filepath)
returnjsonify({})See full example in example directory. You can run it used python3 with installed Flask (pip install flask).
You can also same image by posting base64 string via plain POST json call.
Please note that base64 encoding is less efficient then binary data, for example some 1920 x 1080 image took 402398 bytes for base64 upload.
The same image took 301949 bytes with multipart/form-data.
varptro=Painterro({saveHandler: function(image,done){// of course, instead of raw XHR you can use fetch, jQuery, etcvarxhr=newXMLHttpRequest();xhr.open("POST","http://127.0.0.1:5000/save-as-base64/");xhr.setRequestHeader("Content-Type","application/json");xhr.send(JSON.stringify({image: image.asDataURL()}));xhr.onload=function(e){// after saving is done, call done callbackdone(true);//done(true) will hide painterro, done(false) will leave opened}},activeColor: '#00b400'// change active color to green});ptro.show();Backend should convert base64 to binary and save file:
@app.route("/save-as-base64/", methods=['POST'])defbase64_saver():
filename='{:10d}.png'.format(int(time())) # generate some filenamefilepath=os.path.join(get_tmp_dir(), filename)
withopen(filepath, "wb") asfh:
base64_data=request.json['image'].replace('data:image/png;base64,', '')
fh.write(base64.b64decode(base64_data))
returnjsonify({})You can just insert image as data url to any WYSIWYG editor, e.g. TinyMCE:
tinymce.init({selector:'textarea',});varptro=Painterro({saveHandler: function(image,done){tinymce.activeEditor.execCommand('mceInsertContent',false,'<img src="'+image.asDataURL()+'" />');done(true)}})When you call image.asDataURL() or image.asBlob(), you can also specify image mime type (format), e.g.
image.asDataURL('image/jpeg'). Default type is 'image/png'.
If type is image/jpeg or image/webp, you can also define image quality from 0.0 to 1.0, default is 0.92,
example: image.asDataURL('image/jpeg', 0.5)
document.onpaste=(event)=>{const{ items }=event.clipboardData||event.originalEvent.clipboardData;Array.from(items).forEach((item)=>{if(item.kind==='file'){constblob=item.getAsFile();constreader=newFileReader();reader.onload=(readerEvent)=>{Painterro({saveHandler: (image,done)=>{console.log('Save it here',image.asDataURL());// you could provide your save handlerdone(true);},}).show(readerEvent.target.result);};reader.readAsDataURL(blob);}});};Code written on ES6 which transplited by Babel and packed (minified) to a single file using webpack. All configs are inside so all you have to do after pulling repo is installing node modules:
cd painterro
npm cinpm run buildResult file for <script> import is build/painterro.min.js.
Actually, above command produces 4 versions of library:
build/painterro-x.y.z.min.js,build/painterro.min.jsthe same files but with different filenames (with and without versiontag) - this isvarversion which will be loaded as global variable (var painterro = <Library class>) when you will import it as<script src='painterro.min.js' />tag. So this is forscripttag only.build/painterro.commonjs2.js- this version sutable for jsrequire/import. That's why it is used as entry point inpackage.jsonfile - if you are using webpack or other tool that can handlerequire/importofcommonjs2libraries then you can donpm install painterro, and doimport painterroand it will usecommonjs2version.build/painterro.amd.jsandbuild/painterro.umd.js- these both are same as above but forAMDandUMDimporters respectivly.
To start hot-reload dev server (for reloading code "on the fly"):
npm run devThen open http://localhost:8080 with demo page
If you need add/edit icons in res folder, please after editing run
npm run buildfontPull-requests are welcome.
