The invention aims at providing a method and equipment for processing images. Specifically, the method comprises the following steps: executing image processing operation through user equipment according to first template elements selected by a user, wherein at least one of the first template elements comprises corresponding second template elements with equal or relatively higher resolution; transmitting relevant image processing information related to the image processing operation to corresponding network equipment, wherein the network equipment can call the second template elements. Compared with the prior art, according to the method, the user equipment is adopted to execute the image processing operation according to the first template elements selected by the user and transmit the relevant image processing information related to the image processing operation to the network equipment, so that a second image is obtained by calling the second template elements to execute image processing operation according to the relevant image processing information through the network equipment, the expense of image processing of the user equipment is reduced, the flow of the user is saved, and the image processing experience of the user is improved.
