Luminar has launched Luminar on Web, combining the best of Luminar’s technology in web-based image editor: RAW editing across platforms, depth technology, cross-device sync, and a shared Prime asset library. Luminar Web is available on the website now or free (basic functionality) and $69 for full access.

With the web version, Luminar becomes the first and only photo editor with a Lifetime license across desktop, mobile, and web. Luminar is claiming numerous firsts in its options:

  • The world’s first browser-based photo editor with Light Depth technology.
  • First online editor to offer Presets and LUTs together.
  • First web editor with a broader landscape, portrait, and everyday editing toolkit.
  • Works on any device with a browser. Unlike desktop editors, which need powerful hardware to run smoothly, Luminar on Web runs in any browser.
  • On the web, Luminar is the first and only photo editor with a Lifetime license across desktop, mobile, and web;
  • -Light on local storage. Because editing runs in the browser, users can work with high-res photos and RAW files without filling up their device’s storage.

Luminar on Web feature set:

  • GenErase — remove unwanted objects from a photo.
  • Photo Restoration — restores and enhances older or damaged photos.
  • Light Depth — adjust and shape lighting to add depth and dimension.
  • AI toolset including Sky, Structure, Body, and Bokeh — features most web editors lack.
  • RAW editing in the browser — still uncommon among web editors.

“As a company building photo-editing products for hobbyist photographers, our mission is to amplify the joy of editing,” said Ivan Kutanin, CEO of Skylum. “The Luminar on Web is another step in that direction. With this launch, we are officially turning Luminar into a multiplatform product to make high-quality photo editing more accessible. And by this I mean ease of use, reach, and first step.”
