Two More Free Image Editing Resources

Earlier today (actually wrote the article yesterday and had it post today) I wrote about some free Image editing sites and software. Google Picnik is shutting down in April, so many people are going to be looking for alternatives. In addition to the three (Aviary, Paint, and iPiccy) I wrote about this morning, I have found three more alternatives:


Pixlr - Pixlr is a free, online image editing tool that is very powerful, yet pretty easy to use. It has a lot of great features and the menu and icons are similar to other services, so the learning curve is small.



Google+ Creative Kit is a full-featured image editing system built into Google+. It is basically what Picnik was, now on Google+. Edit, crop, add effects, and much more, all through Google+.

So, that's five alternatives to Picnik.




What do you use for image editing?

Great, free Image editing sites and software

Google is shutting down Picnik soon, so everyone is looking for an alternative for online image editing.

Aviary offers a suite of online image services that include screen capture, image editing and much more. It's free to use and very powerful. Read more here: Aviary image tools




Paint.net is not online, but it is a free download that is easy to use and extremely powerful tool for Windows. It has layers, special effects and much more and the keyboard shortcuts make it very fast to use.


iPiccy is a service I just learned about from Steve Dembo over at Discovery Education. iPiccy requires no login, is easy to use, and has tons of features. You can upload pictures, enter a URL to a picture or import a picture.

So, even though Picnik is going away, there are some great, free options for image editing.

Paint.net - free photo and graphic editing software

Paint.net is a free, downloadable, image and photo editing software for Windows. It is easy to use, has a ton of features like layers, special effects and more, and a great community for help and ideas.

It is easy to use, but powerful enough for most people's needs. It is a great tool for editing images and a great, free replacement for Photoshop, Paint Shop, and others. It's also easier to use than some of the other free editing software like GIMP.
