- Canva:- Canva is one of the top choice for this list, because it creates beautiful and attractive designs and feels like a professional designer. It has a wide range of incredible designs & most of them are free. Even if you can’t find something for free the tool has thousands of additional elements to throw in your images and all they are available in cheap price of $1 each.
The best part of canva is the initial process in which you can choose which kind of image you want to create such as kindle cover, facebook post, blog post etc.
- GIMP:- This is open source, local alternative of photoshop. This is not easy to use but I would like to recommend it because it is completely free. If you find some of the time out of the day learning how to access GIMP. There are lots of videos & tutorials available online to get started.
- PicMonkey:- Free version of PicMonkey has a short process for combining multiple images & making them appealing for your site. This tool is good for making collages but you can also touch up images & add text if you like.
Simply proceeding to four steps, you should be good to go with some new images within few seconds. Just like canva, this tool has an area to specify what type of image you want to make such as facebook cover and other designs with different dimensions.
- Pixelmator:- This only works for Mac, but it has the complicated photoshop format & breaks it down into a simpler tool. You can make use of Pixelmator on your phone or tablet and the tools come with dozens of pre-built templates to get started without much knowledge of designs. You can also try painting with this tool, since it provides wonderful brushes.
- Pixlr Editor:- if you are searching for free online tool then Pixlr editor is the best that works similar to photoshop. Pixlr editor has two more tools as Pixlr-O-Matic and Pixlr Express. If you want more power then you may use this tool but first you have to spend some time to learn it. If you want to just upload pics and include some filters & borders then go with Pixlr-o-matic. Finally try using Pixlr express if you want some mild edits. Express is little bit advanced from Pixlr-o-matic.
- BeFunky:– This is a free photo editor, collage creator and general design tool. If you want to use premium effects then you can upgrade it. Through the basic free version the job can be done if you just want some quick edits to your photos. The thing I like the most about BeFunky is that interface is not confusing for those just getting started with editing photos. Actually this is a powerful tool with lots of photoshop features.
- Adobe Photoshop Elements:- This is the response to the overwhelming amount of support that people show for simple image editing tools. Photoshop is wonderful but it is too much. No one can uses everything they pack in there. Instead of using Photoshop & spending too much money, try Photoshop elements. It’s an affordable way to upload images, apply some filters & make them look professional in just a few seconds.
- PicCollage:– This is an app that can use if you would try to showcase bunch of pictures in collage. I ever think that collages were little tacky especially for professional website but this app makes it pretty awesome. Try PicCollage to add text, stickers, frames and more.
- Fotor:- this is an online photo editing tool with tons of options to make images for your blog or social media in very less time. There are a lots of options for lights, size, colors, retouching, photo effects etc. also there are various free templates plus hundreds of fonts, image shapes, stickers and plenty of online guides to make edits like professional.
- PowerPoint:- for some reasons people forget Powerpoint when it comes to edit or design images. When you think about it, Powerpoint is great way to design images. It’s an drag and drop editor & mostly all of us learn how to use this in grade school or high school.
