Six free online image editors to fix your photos
Need to edit some photographs? You do not necessarily have to have Photoshop or open source GIMP installed on your computer. There are several online image editors that you can use to fix your images. Here are six of the most popular and interesting of the online image editors.
1. Picnik: Undoubtedly, Picnik is the most popular of all online image editing web services. It can edits images after uploading from your computer or can also edit images hosted on sites such as Flickr and Picasa. This online editor, which has one of the best interface, provides lot of functionalities that an average user will need for editing images. You cannot only add effects to your images but also create collages with Picnik. It is available free and doesn't require registration if you want to edit one image at a time. It allows you to download and save image on your computer, after editing.
2. Pixlr: Unlike its more popular counterpart, Pixlr gives you a look and feel very similar to an image editor installed on your local computer. You will find a menu bar and tool bars very similar to that in Photoshop. It also supports layers, giving you the power to more complex image manipulations. It also includes lot of pre-set effects to rev up your image. It also does not require any registration and allows to save manipulated image locally. I would recommend it if you want something more powerful than Picnik.
3. Photoshop.com: The most popular image editor allows users to fix their images for free using their online image editor--Photoshop Express. Unlike other online image editors, Photoshop's online avatar gives only limited functionalities. Despite this, it can be really helpful if you want a no-brainer image editing for fixing some minor problems in an image. All that you have to do is pick correct pre-sets after previewing from a range of effects. Though the service is free, it requires registration after which you become eligible for 2 GB of storage. Photoshop.com is not the correct option if your images are in a format other than jpeg.
4. Dr Pic: Dr Pic is another really simple image editor with lot of pre-sets that will help fix your image and add some effects to jazz it up. Like many other online image editors, it supports ctrl+z and ctrl+y for undo and redo, respectively. It does not support layers. Dr Pic doesn't require registration and allows you to save your image.
5. FotoFlexer: FotoFlexer is allows to edit photos from local computer or online images from Flickr, Facebook, Picasa, etc. It has a lot of ready-to-use image effects to prop up your images.You can use it to add effects such as glitter texts, stickers, animations, photo frames, etc. It also allows you to flip images vertically or horizontally (most of the other image editor also do). It does not require any registration.
6. Splashup: Splashup is a Photoshop-like online image editor that supports layers. Similar to Pixlr, which has an interface quite similar to an appliaction installed on your computer, it offer you a more comprehensive image manipulation. But lack of support for shortcuts will force you to move your mouse pointer to the menubar to undo any action--a huge irritation for me.
Phixr (requires free registration) and Phoenix are two other free online image editors that deserve a mention.
