Image Editor

Image Editor skill brings programmatic image manipulation to your Claude agent without requiring Photoshop or any paid software. Built on Sharp (for raster images) and Inkscape CLI (for SVGs), it handles the full range of common image processing tasks with production-quality output.

Transformation operations: resize with smart cropping (face detection keeps faces centered), rotate and flip, convert between formats (PNG, JPEG, WebP, AVIF, GIF), adjust quality and compression for web optimization, and apply filters (brightness, contrast, saturation, blur, sharpen). Batch processing applies the same transformations to a folder of images in parallel, useful for preparing image datasets or resizing a product catalog.

Composition operations: overlay images and text at specified positions, add watermarks with configurable opacity and placement, combine multiple images into collages or sprites, add borders and padding, and draw basic shapes. Text rendering supports custom fonts with full typography control — size, color, alignment, line height — enabling automated caption and annotation generation.

Background removal uses a local ML model (rembg) to strip backgrounds without sending images to external servers, important for proprietary product photos. EXIF metadata reading and stripping protects privacy when sharing images publicly. The skill integrates naturally with Image Generator — generate an image, edit it to add a watermark and resize for web, then save to your content directory. No API key required; all processing runs locally using open-source libraries.
