Files

Editing Files

Edit a text file, or resize, crop and convert an image.

In the admin: Files › a file › Edit

A file's details offer Edit for text files and images, to users who may update the file.

Text files

Plain text, Markdown, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, JSON, XML, YAML, SQL, CSV, logs and configuration files open in a code editor with syntax highlighting, undo and redo, and word wrap. Save replaces the file's content.

Images

The image editor works on a copy: originals are never modified until you choose to save.

The image editor: a compressor photo cropped and resized to 800 px wide, as WebP.

Control
Crop	Draw the area to keep, then Apply crop
Width, Height and fit	Cover, Contain or Inside
Rotate and flip	Rotate left 90°, Rotate right 90°, Flip horizontal, Flip vertical
Format	Keep original, JPEG, PNG, WebP or AVIF, with Quality
Effects	Grayscale, Blur, Sharpen

The preview is the result of an image transformation, and the URL field shows that transformation's address, with Copy URL. The URL works without signing in only for a public file.

Then:

Save as creates a new file with the edited image (name (edited).ext by default). The original stays as it was.
Save and replace overwrites the original's content with the edited version.
Replace image replaces the content with another image from your computer.

Overwriting asks you to tick Confirm: it can't be undone. Every column pointing at the file shows the new content.

Next steps

Image transformations: the same edits, by URL.
