Free online photo editors

I'm pretty much a Photoshop and Picassa user. I work mostly on large files, so working online is a hassle with photos, though I use it for many other doc types.

That said, there are times when I'm on a machine without editing software, and there are some pretty good online editors. They can prove useful, and are great for folks not prepared to invest in software, they work well.


  • Picnik - Probably my favorite of the bunch. Seems to work pretty fast. Has all the expected basic editing tools. Also has a bunch of really cool effects that you can apply. I want to find some of these for Photoshop. Integrates very easily with Flickr, Picassa, and other online photo services.
  • Splashup - Splashup will look immediately familiar to users of Photoshop. The interface is very similar, and it provides tools like layers. Useful if you are attempting to follow instructions intended for Photoshop. Pretty slick, and also interfaces well with most of the online photo sites.
  • There are others. Check out this Techcrunch page. But having looked at them all, I can't see any reason I wouldn't use one of the two listed.
