Top 5 Amazing Image Editing Apps Which Are Absolutely Free
With Adobe Photoshop gaining so much popularity, many more image editing
apps are coming up every other day. Though Adobe Photoshop is much
popular among the professionals, amateurs and beginners might find this
app intimidating if they wish to do just a little touch-up with their
photos. But today, many more simper and handy alternatives are coming up
in the market with some having features which Photoshop doesn’t. what’s
more is that, they come on a comparatively affordable price than that
of Adobe Photoshop.
Here’s is a list of 5 absolutely free editing apps with features which will blow your mind away.
Pixlr
The first on our list is Pixlr, this free image editor lives within the browser itself which means no other software downloaded is needed. It’s a superb take on the Adobe Photoshop.
Coming to its features, it doesn’t have
much difference than Photoshop with layout on-point, integrated with a
customizable user-friendly interface with menu which can be resized and
moved. You’ll even see same keyboard shortcuts as that of Photoshop in
Pixlr.
Though Pixlr has managed to copy tools
similar to the Photoshop what is still lacks is in terms of
capabilities. For instance- you should not overdo in doing many effects
as the result can turn out to be completely fake.
But that’s not much to complaint when you don’t have to spend anything! Pixlr offers you to upload images from your hard drive and edit them. You can open images via URL or you can even open them from any online library like images from your FB account.
Sumopaint
Sumopaint is offered online while if you want you can download it too as an app. There are free and pro versions but for simple image editing the former is enough as it has some basic tools.
Sumopiant at first will look like
Photoshop but the free version tools aren’t capable enough like the ones
Photoshop has. But you do get the Symmetry tool which create kaleidoscope-
like patterns very easily along with plenty of Polygon tools which
makes the star patterns a lot interesting. These tools are interesting
and fun but you cant expect much editing with it.
This app does have other features such as the basic image editing tools which help in imitating a wter-down version of Photoshop having mid-to high performing abilities.
PicMonkey
A fun web app, the PicMonkey is a lot of
fun for editing photos. There is not much difference in PicMonkey and
other online image editors, and the latter comes with Instagram-like
filters and free and pro versions. A lot of basics like the curves and
burn tools are not entirely available in app’s free version. This app is
not the best editor app for doing in-depth photo editing.
But still you get some interesting blemish-fixing tools in PicMonkey
such as the airbrushing, wrinkle-removers, lip tints and the “mascara”
too! Though you get so many touch-ups features you get, you need to
restrict yourself from over-doing as results can look completely fake.
PicMonkey also offers a variety of sticker overlays like the moustaches and party hats along with some host of borders and textures to add that chic factor your photos.
Additional to this, you also get loads of sticker overlays like the mustaches and party hats along with some borders and textures to add that style to the photos.
Splashup
Splashup or formerly Fauxto, is an easy and simple online image editor which is great for beginners. You can import photos from online libraries like Facebook, Flickr, Picasa and Photobucket too! You can even upload the ones from your desktop also.
The setup
of this app is similar to that of Photoshop’s but a much simplified
one. In Splashup you get lesser tools and have the basic utilities.
Tools like curves, levels, hues and vibrancy are not present here in
this app.
This app is nice for stuff like simple
cropping, smudging and other basic tools which you need for quick and
easy touchups. One drawback of this app is that you don’t get any
keypads shortcuts.
Picfull
The attracting feature of this app is its one-click photo editing. If you want to do a quick and easy filter to your photo, then Picfull is the best free app available.
You can change the levels along with
other settings of each filter within the online filter. You get to
choose from option of 21 filters, and they range from color, level,
saturation and based filters. Comparatively its image window is smaller
than other editors but we can’t complain as Picfull only deals with
filters.
