Sable
Read full descriptionHide full description
Open a photo, make a few quick edits, save. That's the app experience. Sable is a fast, private photo editor with no account, no sign-up, no ads and no watermark stamped across your work. Every edit happens on your phone - your photos never leave the device. HIDE WHAT SHOULDN'T BE SEEN One tap finds every face in the photo and blurs or pixelates it - choose which faces to hide before it's applied. Or paint over anything by hand: a card number, a badge, a street sign, a face in the background. EDIT WITHOUT THE CLUTTER - Crop, straighten and rotate to any aspect ratio - Draw shapes, lines and free-hand strokes - Add text in your choice of font, colour and alignment - Drop in stickers and emoji, then move, resize and delete them - Tune brightness, contrast, saturation and more - Apply a preset filter in a tap CUT OUT THE BACKGROUND Lift your subject off the background on-device, brush away anything the detection misses by hand, then keep it transparent as a PNG or drop your subject onto a fresh coloured canvas. MAKE IT YOURS Add your own text or image watermark - move it, scale it, set the opacity - and save at the quality you choose: Maximum, Balanced or Compact. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, ever. Nothing is uploaded, tracked or stored on a server - face detection, background removal and every other edit run on your device. Sable also strips the hidden camera data from the photo you save, so the location and the device the shot was taken on don't travel with it. FAIR PRICING Sable is free to use. A one-off Pro unlock adds Cutout, Stickers and Watermark - buy it once, keep it forever. No subscription, no ads, no nagging. Open a photo. Make it right. Save. Done.
