# Main (Left) Toolbar

The Main Toolbar is Krea's central command center on the interface's left side. This toolbar has two primary modes:

* [**Default Mode**](/krea-wiki/how-to-use-the-canvas/main-left-toolbar/default-mode.md) for creating images
* [**Image Editing Mode**](/krea-wiki/how-to-use-the-canvas/main-left-toolbar/image-editing-mode.md) for refining and modifying a specific image.

### How to switch between the tools

* When first selecting the tool, it will be displayed in [**Default Mode**](/krea-wiki/how-to-use-the-canvas/main-left-toolbar/default-mode.md)
* When selecting an individual image, it will automatically change to [**Image Editing Mode**](/krea-wiki/how-to-use-the-canvas/main-left-toolbar/image-editing-mode.md) on the left and an [**Image editing (Floating) tool**](/krea-wiki/how-to-use-the-canvas/image-editing-floating.md) will also appear on top of the image.
* To switch between the two, simply click into an image or click out into the canvas without selecting an image.
