The 5 TOP FREE Online Photo-Editing Software Options (VIDEO)
Are you tired of paying for expensive post-processing software or downloading apps like Gimp to your computer? If so, this quick guide from the popular BIT YouTube channel may just set you free without spending a dime and help you achieve enhancements that perfectly suit your needs.
BIT is a very popular resource with 1.4M subscribers and 600 videos with software recommendations, gear reviews , and other tech oriented tutorials. Here’s how instructor Brett teases today’s budget-saving episode: “If you’d prefer to edit photos online inside your favorite browser I’m going to so you my top five free pick in the next 6 minutes.”
Instructor presents this handful of picks in reverse order of personal preference. Keep in mind, however that the best option for you maybe one of the others depend upon your level of experience and the type of photos you shoot most. Coming in at number five is Be Funky which is a great choice who are new to post processing.
As Brent says “Be Funky includes basic tools for easily boosting image quality. In addition to the photo editor it also has a collage maker and a toolset for graphic designers.” The interface is clean and intuitive with all the tools listed in a panel on the left side of the workspace. Many of these are completely free, while those marked with a star can be purchased through a subscription.
Next on the list is Fotor that offers a few more tools pick #5, and like Be Funky some of the advance options require upgrading from free—in this case they’re with a diamond icon. The cost is minimal at only $3.33/month and provides access to enhancements made with artificial intelligence (AI).
Your third choice is PIXLR, an image and video generator for those of you who enjoy fooling around with AI. This one has been around for several years and is another good choice for photographers with simple needs and there are two options—with PIXLR Express being the most basic.
The last two picks gain additional features and more powerful tools as Brent completes the list with his two favorite choices, one of which looks and works very much like Photoshop (including premium features), except that it runs on your computer and is absolutely free!
There’s much more of interest to photographers on the BIT YouTube channel, so pay a visit and explore what’s available.
