Instead of the probably correct:

"Our software XYZ allows the user to resize and modify PNG images.",

I'm looking for a way to do it without specifying a person:

"Our software XYZ allows to resize and modify PNG images."

Does the latter sound strange for a native English speaker?

Which one is more idiomatic? ("to allow somebody to do something" vs. "to allow to do something")

Is there another way to say it without involving "the user" with another verb than "allow"?
