10 Useful and Free Photo Editors Online

Not everyone can afford to have sophisticated software such as Adobe Photoshop to edit their photographs. That’s where free photo editors online come in. They may not have everything Adobe Photoshop does, but they work well and get the job done when it comes to cleaning up or adding a cool effect to your image.

10 Top Free Photo Editors Online:

Pixlr (http://pixlr.com). One of the top free photo editors online, Pixlr actually offers many different features to choose from: Pixlr Editor, Pixlr Express, and Pixlr-O-Matic. With over 600 effects, borders, and overlays to dress up your photograph, you can also easily re-size and crop. Pixlr Editor is perfect for the graphic designer, with features very similar to Photoshop which can be a little complicated if working with for the first time, but great if you are familiar with those handy features. Pixlr Express is a quick tool to easily clean up a photo with red-eye reduction, cropping, and other popular photo clean-up tools, plus you can add text and stickers to your photo, and even create a collage using this feature. Pixlr-O-Matic is a fun feature to work with where you can add filters, all kinds of effects, cool frames, and backgrounds.

And because I think it is worth mentioning, one of my favorite free photo editors online I use to use all the time, Picnik, is no longer available to use. This editor use to be very popular, but appears they have joined forces with Google +’s Photo Editor in 2010. Just FYI in case anyone use to use Picnik.
