Photo editing is a term that refers to the manipulation of an image. With the advances in digital photography, photo editing has become much more advanced. Photo editing tool allows for complex adjustments to be made down to the image pixel, it also can be used to enhance exposure, remove unwanted objects, retouch an image subject, and more.

Because no matter how well you shoot your photos, there are always little things to fix and retouch afterward. In earlier posts, I wrote about the famous Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, which is, and his mate, Photoshop is considered the industry standard of photo editing software.  I also compile a list of free software for a fellow with a tight budget. This post focuses on another type of photo editing tool, which is an online photo editing service. In this type, you don’t need to download software to your PC, but it is rather simpler, you need only to upload your photos to the site and do all the editing jobs online. When finish editing, download your final edited photo back to your PC. Here are some of the interesting online tools:

  • Thanks a lot for this.  Most of your site is way over my head, but as time goes on I am finding the need to edit some photos.  I don’t have the need often, so something free is great.  I used photoshop years ago and have considered looking into it again.  Also, I have used Canva a bit and haven’t made much headway with it yet, so over the next few weeks I will work with 2-3 of the ones you suggest and see which is most suitable.

    Best regards,

    Joe

    • Thanks for the comment, I understand that you have some experience with editing software, You may check Pixlr, it is free and powerful too. 

  • Oh man there’s so many good ones missing, but I guess you could list them all day. Plus it really depends on if its editing a photo like the title or creating a social media graphic. I know you mostly focus on photography but I’m also incredibly interested in whether you have any video software recommendations… more like stock videos
