If you’ve ever opened five different tabs just to crop a picture, add a filter, resize it for Instagram, or trim a video, you know exactly how frustrating social media editing can be. Time wasted, energy drained, and often the end result still doesn’t look the way you imagined.
That’s why Publer now comes with an upgraded Photo Editor and a brand-new Video Editor, built right inside your dashboard. Edit photos and videos and publish them on your social media at the best times for your audience right from Publer. And the best part? Both are completely free to use.
You can even try our free online tools for photo and video editing (no registration needed), but editing inside Publer means better quality, professional results, and the ability to schedule your edited content instantly.
No more jumping from one platform to another. Just smooth, efficient, and powerful editing tailored for social media creators like you.
The Upgraded Photo Editor
It’s been five years since we launched our first photo editor for social media inside Publer, so an upgrade was long overdue. The new version is sharper, faster, and packed with features designed for quick but professional edits that fit seamlessly into your content workflow.
Here’s what you can now do:
Crop, Rotate & Flip Social Media Posts Easily
Focus on what matters most. Crop out distractions, unnecessary elements, or simply shape an image for the right platform and format.
Tilted photos? Creative mirrored visuals? The rotate and flip tools let you adjust in seconds. Perfect for quick last-minute fixes or when you want to add a unique twist to your content.
Resize For Each Social Media Platform and Post Format
No more guessing dimensions or searching for size guides. Instantly adapt your photos for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Twitter/X, Google Business, Telegram, Bluesky, Mastodon, and even WordPress. Just insert your desired dimensions and you’re ready to go. Even better, you can schedule those freshly resized photos directly to your chosen platforms through Publer.

Finetune Photos and Make Them Pop
This is where your images really come to life. Adjust brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, temperature, gamma, clarity, and vignette until your visuals pop. A flat, dull product image can instantly transform into something scroll-stopping with just a few tweaks.
Play with Fun Filters and Colours
Set the mood in seconds. Choose a warm filter for cozy seasonal campaigns, a cool tone for tech content, or bold, high-contrast filters when you want your post to stand out.
Add Stickers & Emojis, Because Why Not?
Social media is all about personality. Add playful emojis, event-specific stickers, or your brand’s signature symbols. At Publer, we’re partial to a green heart 💚 and our superhero. 🦸♂️ They scream Publer every time.
With the editing tool, you can also add images as overlays, like watermarks, logos, or branded graphics. And if you’d like to save even more time, Publer’s built-in Watermark feature automatically applies your logo to images and videos, so you don’t have to do it manually each time.
Text Overlays For Quick Messages & Editing
Skip opening Canva or Photoshop just to add text. With Publer’s photo editor, you can drop campaign messages like “New Drop,” “Sale Today,” or “50% Off” directly onto your images. Quick, convenient, and ready to schedule in one place.
Add Frames & Borders For A Clean Look
Consistent frames and borders can take your content from ordinary to polished. Whether you’re refining your Instagram grid or creating a branded look for LinkedIn posts, frames add that extra touch of professionalism.
Redact / Censor / Obscure
Sometimes less is more. Blur out sensitive information in screenshots or client photos before sharing them online. This feature is perfect for case studies, testimonials, or results you want to showcase without exposing private data.
Welcome The New Video Editor
If photos are important, videos are essential. Engagement today lives in Reels, TikToks, Shorts, and Stories, and Publer’s video editor makes preparing them seamless. Almost everything you can do in the photo editor, you can now also do in the video editor.
Crop, rotate, resize, add filters, stickers, text, or even adjust brightness, the same familiar tools, just adapted to moving content. The result? A consistent editing experience, no matter if you’re working with images or videos.
Let’s dive into the video editing tools:
Trim, Split & Merge Videos To Perfection
Cut out the noise, shorten clips for TikToks, Reels and Shorts or snip and merge sections of a footage into one smooth video. Editing that used to take ages now happens in just a few clicks.
Crop, Rotate & Flip Your Video Content
Not every video is shot with the right angle or format. With Publer, you can crop, rotate, or flip in seconds so your content fits TikTok, Instagram Stories, or YouTube Shorts perfectly.
Resize Videos With Precision For Each Channel
Every platform has its own video size rules, Publer handles that for you. Reformat videos instantly for YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, or Facebook Reels without ever opening a second app. Just enter the dimensions you need, and you’re set.
Caption Videos With Text
Accessibility and clarity matter. Add captions, branded overlays, or even fun call-to-action text right on your videos. Perfect for Stories or Reels that autoplay on mute, your message will still get across.
Enhance Videos Easily With Filters, Stickers and Emojis
Light too dim? Footage too flat? Fix it fast with brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, temperature, gamma, clarity, and vignette adjustments. Add a ready-made filter for consistent campaign visuals, or highlight fun moments with emojis and stickers that make your videos more engaging.
