Cut Paste Photos

Features
Read full description

Convenient simple image editor just for cropping and overlaying photos. Simple tools. Nothing extra! The application will allow you to cut a photo along the contour and overlay it on another photo. You can cut out absolutely any object, even the smallest one in any photo, as you can cut it out using two handy tools: the pencil and the lasso. The pencil draws your picture and, at the desired transparency, turns into an eraser. Choose any pencil width. To make the object translucent, select medium transparency of the pencil. Edit edges - manipulate transparency. You can click on the "magic" tool next to the save button: it will allow you to make objects fit perfectly into the background. To crop even the most complex object, you can greatly enlarge the image in manipulation mode (finger), and carefully trim the outline with a pencil or lasso. You can create complex compositions of objects and applications in just a few minutes! Layer as many objects as you want on top of each other. To do this, simply select several photos from the gallery, crop several of them along the contour, and leave one as the background, arrange the pictures beautifully, and then save the composition to the gallery. Tip: first select an overlay image so that it is convenient to cut, and then select a background - the overlay image will not disappear anywhere. Just click on the overlay layer at the bottom and the overlay will move to the top. If you don't like some picture on the screen, swipe it so that it is almost completely hidden and it will be deleted. Saving works by cropping the area. You choose the rectangular area in crop mode that you want to save. Just select an area with a rectangle and click the checkmark, the photo will be saved to the photo gallery. Don't worry about the order of the pictures. The layers (pictures) are shown at the bottom of the screen. With one click on the layer, move the layer above the others. Everything is very simple! You control the order of objects and background. The only thing that may confuse you is the mode you need (manipulation, pencil/eraser or lasso). After training in just a couple of minutes everything will be elementary! Delight your friends on social networks and instant messengers with unusual pictures. Make fakes, memes and jokes! Our application is a simple and convenient tool for all occasions, which can be useful both for memes on social networks and for businesses, websites, logos and banners, when there is no full-fledged editor at hand, and time is running out in minutes. Use the application anywhere: cafe, metro or airplane - the application works offline! Simple technologies from Pimur. Thank you for reading this text to the end.
