Professional Photos and Fun Effects in One Step

Photo editing is fun, but photo editing software like PhotoShop takes forever to master. We've assembled the best simple one-step photo editing tools. Most of these tools do only one or two effects - but they do them amazingly easily.  There are more comprehensive online tools like PhotoShop Express and Picnik - but the tools you find here require no training beyond reading the computer screen.

Mypictr provides a free picture resizing service, which allows you to create a custom profile avatar for your favorite social network. You don't need to install any programs, plug-ins or any other software, just upload your picture, resize it online and download it from our server. Imagine the following situation, you are about to create a new profile at a new social network and the size of profile picture is limited to a custom width and height.

With mypictr you don't need to search for the software, all you need to do is to upload your large picture, pick a right size (or custom size) and download a smaller profile picture.

Photomontager

Photo Montager

PhotoMontager is similar to the many of the services we have discussed, but it has a wide range of effects including Disney images. Now - I am suspicious if these are legally licensed so proceed as you wish. Also, PhotoMontager leaves their watermark in the lower right of all images

Webinpaint

Remove Unwanted Objects in Photo with Webinpaint

Webinpaint

Webinpaint is a web-based photo tool similar to Photoshop's Content Aware Fill feature. It erases unwanted element of your photo quickly and easily. Inpaint is a computer application for retouching and repairing photos, artwork and other types of digital images. Offering an incredibly simple photo restoration, Inpaint removes scratches, stains, dust, facial imperfections, and even unwanted objects while preserving the clarity of the original.

Make a Thumbnail

Make a Thumbnail

Makeathumbnail.com is an online photo app that does what its name says: it generates a thumbnail from a picture that you upload.

Before uploading your image, choose the size of thumbnail that you need. The options are 100 x 100, 150 x 150, 200 x 200 and 300 x 300 pixels.

You can upload an original image in JPG or PNG format and its size should be less than 1 Mb.

Picture Reflection

One Step Photo Reflection

Visit PicReflect and complete the form show above and in moments you will have a photography that shows a reflection - all in one step. I created the reflection above by keeping all the defaults and simply choosing the photo to use.

Text on Photo

Adding text captions to a photo can be easy

Picfont allows you to Insert text, add comments to picture, canvas, shape very simply in 10 seconds. Upload the photo, type the text, pick the font, pick the color. That's it.

Photo to Text

Convert Pictures

If you used computers in the 70s or 80s you will remember creating computer art using just ASCII text characters. It was not easy to create designs using just the 128 characters - but folks did it. And now, with Photo2Text, you can automate the process - take a graphic image and create a text image like the one shown to the right. It's retro-fun and easy to email your text picture - no need for attachments, just drop it in as text.

Just Round the Corner

Roundpic.com

Roundpic

Roundpic is an online tool for making anti-aliased rounded corners (very Web 2.0!) for avatars and images. You simply upload a picture, submit and you have your picture ready to be downloaded. If you want you can adjust the size of the corner edges.

    Looks really interesting and easy to master but I just wanted to add that GIMP is also another contender to Photoshop.
