Live Image Editor

Non-destructive image editing for Obsidian — rotate, flip, crop (with free rotation), resize, filter and export images straight from a hover toolbar. The original image file is never modified; every edit is stored as a small portable {…} block on the image's Markdown line.

The images on these pages are not screenshots — they are rendered live in your browser by the plugin's own standalone runtime, the same code that draws them inside Obsidian.

![](sample.png){rotate=90 width=260} — rendered live, not a screenshot.

What it does

• Rotate & flip — quarter-turns and free rotation, horizontal / vertical flip.
• Crop — an in-place editor: pan, zoom, rotate, aspect presets.
• Resize — width drag plus icon / small / medium / large / original presets.
• Filters — brightness, contrast, saturation, hue, blur, grayscale, sepia and named presets.
• Layout — align left / right / center with text wrap around floats, inline icons.
• Captions & classes — alt-text captions and reusable decoration classes (rounded, shadow, border, circle) plus your own vault snippets.

It follows Obsidian's locale and its central Use [[Wikilinks]] setting; it adds no language or link-format setting of its own.
