Having a good photo editor on your computer is way easy nowadays. However, you don’t take your computer everywhere you go and sometimes you need to make some changes to a photo online. For this purpose, there are a lot of editing softwares available online that everybody can access for free. In this article we want to show you some of the best photo editors you can stumble upon on the Internet. Take a look.
Photoshop Express:
We have all heard of Photoshop and there is hardly anyone that isn’t familiar with this powerful tool for photo editing. The best part is that is is available online as well. Not surprisingly, it doesn’t include all the features of the desktop software.
Adobe are known for their high-quality products and a whole package of apps for video, audio, photo, PDF editing and many other features. This online version of Photoshop is lighter and easier to use than the original one. It is good for quick photo editing. You can fine tune pictures with a number of the tools that the program offers. You can still adjust balance, saturation, contrast and other stuff with one click.
The online version of the program is for free, it only requires users to sign up. There is a demo version available, however, if you choose to use it, you cannot edit your own photos but rather photos provided by Adobe.
Pixlr:
This online tool for photo editing provides three options for users. The first is Pixlr Editor where you can draw and create pictures. You have a number of options for drawing and changing an image. This feature focuses on more detailed photo editing. You can delete parts, draw circles, erase, crop, rotate, paint, etc. If you are familiar with programs like Photoshop and CorelDraw, you will easily find your way into this tool’s layers and navigator panels.
With the second option – Pixlr Express – you can create collages or make more general changes to a photo, such as adding frames and effects. Moreover, you can add stickers, borders and different overlays. Not to mention, you can apply text as the tool provides a number of beautiful text styles.
The third option – Pixlr O-matic – is very similar to Pixlr Express. It provides a number of effects that you can apply on an image (including saturation, vintage, black and white effects), as well as various frames, effects and overlays.
Sumo Paint:
This tool has a version for free but, needless to say, it has only a few options. Just like Photoshop, this online tool offers a navigation bar, layers, a number of features and effects, text, blending modes, shapes and textures, ink tools and brushes, and so on and so forth. Even the free version is quite powerful.
The free version does not require for you to create an account. However, if you choose to sign up, you can store images on your account, rank the others’ work and share your pictures.
flauntR:
This tool stores a wide range of effects and if you are looking for just that, visit flauntR’s website. You can do some general editing with this tool. It requires Flash to be installed on your computer in order to run the tool.
FotoFlexer:
This tool can be easily handled. With it you can touch up a photo easily and quickly. FotoFlexer gives you the opportunity to do the more general photo editing.
