How to edit photos online for free
If you want a complete online tool for editing your photos, in the next chapters I will point out some that can surely satisfy your needs. I warn you that these tools are equipped with advanced tools and you will almost feel like you are using professional editing software, such as Photoshop (although obviously there are not many of the most advanced features of software of this kind).
Photopea
Among the online tools you can use for modify photo online for free, I report you Photopea. It is an advanced editor that does not require any registration to be used. It is supported through advertising banners but, by registering an account Premium, with costs starting from $ 9 / month, you can remove the latter and also enable the access functionality to the last 60 changes made on your project (the free tool allows you to access only the last 30).
To use Photopea, reach its official website and, if the service menus are not already translated into British, fix it immediately by selecting the item cityno from the menu More > Language, in high.
Now, on the main Photopea screen, tap on the item Open from computer, in order to upload the photo you intend to work on. After importing the image into Photopea, you can apply any changes you see fit.
Specifically, you can find different selection tools, stamps, brushes and text boxes in the toolbar on the left. In the right sidebar, however, you will find the different management panels, such as the levels or the history of the actions performed.
For each tool you will use, an additional bar will appear at the top, through which you can further customize some parameters of the same. I also point out the possibility of finding additional features through the menu bar located at the top (for example the tab Window, Filter o Image).
When you are done working on your photo, to export it to your PC, click on the items above File> Export As and choose one of the image formats that are shown to you. In the screen that you see, you will then have to set the export parameters and press the button Save, to download a copy of your project.
I also point out the possibility of exporting your project in PSD, in order to work in Photoshop later: you have to reach the items File > Save with PSD from the top menu and that's it!
Pixlr
Another useful online photo editing service that's just as reliable as the one I showed you in the previous chapter is Pixlr. In fact, this service offers several tools: Pixlr E, which is a very advanced photo editing tool, and Pixlr X, which instead is a tool with fewer tools available, useful for amateur editing.
They do not require the installation of any add-ons, as they are technology-based HTML5. They are then available Pixlr Editor e Pixlr Express which require, however, Flash Player enabled on the browser (I told you about it in this guide of mine).
Since the use of this component will soon be completely abandoned by web browsers, in this chapter, I will tell you about Pixlr E, the most complete solution offered by this online service. Furthermore, I warn you that all Pixlr tools are free but, by signing up for a subscription at the cost of $ 3,99 / month, you can access a library that offers thousands of overlays, icons, stickers and decorated fonts.
To use Pixlr E, all you have to do is go to its official website and, in the section you see, press the button Open Image, to upload the photo to edit from your PC. You can also use the key Load URL, in case you want to edit an online photo of which you have the URL.
After importing, you will be shown the main interface of the service. All the tools you need are located in the bar located on the left. In the right sidebar, however, you will find the panel related to levels of the project and the chronology of the actions performed.
In case you need to add filters, adjust the image or manage the layers, you can find all the related features in the menu bar located at the top. When you are done working on your project, you can export it very easily.
To do this, click on the item Fillet at the top and, in the menu that is shown to you, choose the option Save. Once this is done, in the panel you see, select the export parameters (extension, quality and size) and press the button Download.
