Edit your photo online with Picnik

edit photo online with picnik

Now, when it comes to online-photo-editing I hope you are not expecting Photoshop facilities like filters, vectorizing, blur tools, etc. Apart from that, Picnik is a cool tool to edit your photos online. Something convenient that let you do the basic things without launching your Photoshop I’d say. More information after jump.


Here’s what Picnik is capable of:

  • One-click photo fixing or in-depth tweaking
  • Crop, rotate, and resize in real-time
  • Tons of special effects, from artsy to fun
  • Works directly with many photo sharing sites (Flickr, Imageshack, Photobucket, etc)
  • No download required, nothing to install!
  • Editing photos online with a browser, Picnik is perhaps the best I’ve seen so far. So if you were to blog somewhere outside without your PC or laptop, make sure you bookmarked Picnik in your del.icio.us
