Microsoft Office Picture Manager (formerly Microsoft Picture Library[4]) is a raster graphics editor introduced in Microsoft Office 2003 and included up to Office 2010.[5] It is the replacement to Microsoft Photo Editor introduced in Office 97 and included up to Office XP.[6]

Basic image editing features include color correct, crop, flip, resize, and rotate. To facilitate image organization, Picture Manager includes a shortcut pane to which users can manually—or automatically through a Locate Pictures command—add shortcuts to folders in a hierarchical file system layout, which eliminates the need to create new categories for images or to import them to a specific folder. Picture Manager allows users to share images in email, to an intranet location, or to a SharePoint library.[7] It also allows images to be shared directly with Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word.

Microsoft terminated support for Picture Manager with the release of Office 2013 and recommended Photos and Word as replacements because of their digital imaging capabilities.[8]
