This could be resizing, cropping and other options when heavier options aren’t really necessary. Some of these will even allow you to work with text and store a back-up of your images online.
Free Online Photo Editor
Re-size, rotate, use filters and effects. Very easy and versatile.
Pixer.us
Re-size, crop, rotate, brightness & contrast, saturation, blur & sharpen + a lot more!
Picnik
Picnik let’s you import pictures with ease from Flickr, Facebook, Picasa and more. You get all standard editing tools (like re-size, crop and so on) along with type tool, lots of effects and more adjustments. Pay for a premium version for even more functions.
Splashup
Formerly known as Fauxto, this is one of the better ones out there. Lots of options – and you can grab photos from Facebook, Flickr and so on.
Pixlr
Pixlr is one of the most popular options on this list, and not without reason. It starts quickly, without the need for any registration – both good things. User-friendly interface and standard functions. We also have to mention that if you get the paid version, a whole world of new functions is unlocked.
Photoshop.com
A great all-round program that now also is available for iPhone and Android. Not only is this a great editor, you can also organize and share your photos with a free account. Some ads for the “big brother” that is the actual Photoshop CS5 here and there, but this version is 100% free and a great option.
Online Photo Tool
If you register, you can also save images here. All the basic editing tools are here, along with some simple painting tools as well.
FotoFlexer
This one is also a very well known option. All the basic functions are here and work well, along with quite a few one click effects and other features – like recolor hair, animations, distortions, retouching, doodles and more.
FixPicture (beta)
This is still in beta, but seems to work really well. Basic options along with some effects. Not the most versatile one in the list, but the interface is good-looking and easy to use – making it a very positive experience for easier tasks.
Aviary’s Phoenix
Both basic and some more advanced features makes this one of the top picked online photo editors. Along with this, Aviary also has a number of other tools for vector, effects, audio and so on. Absolutely worth a try!
Conclusion
There’s a jungle of free web-based applications out there when it comes to image editing. A good handful of them are definitely giving you what you hope for, so there’s not really any excuse for not being able to do easier editing no matter which computer you’re on. Which you’ll choose as your top pick will very much depend on your preferences when it comes to the interface and so on. Our tip would be to have a look through this list, and try a couple of different ones to see what you prefer. Good luck!
