pixlr.com - free online photo editor

As a web master or a web developer, you often need to work with images and pictures on your websites.
If you are a web designer, you are probably already proficient in Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator but those tools are too complex and expensive for a web master or a developer.

I often look for a freeware when it comes to image/photo editors and I have a couple of free Windows softwares that I use for cropping, resizing, stitching, touching, etc but I didn't realize that there's a market for online photo editor until recently!

I wanted to show tribute to Steve Jobs on my website front page by displaying some of his images that I found on internet but I needed to change the orientation, move some images, and also add different images.

So I googled for free photo editor and found Pixlr, free online photo editing service!

At first I was very skeptical because the entire editor is written in Flash! (which means you will not be able to use this online editor in iPad )

However, after playing around with it, I soon realized that this is very advanced editor that can do so much more than most of the free editing softwares. I'm thoroughly impressed with it.

Emoticons are a great way to visually express how you feel.
However, there are times when unintended content is converted to emoticon because the content happens to have one of the emoticon symbols. That's why it's always good idea to preview your comment before posting and when you see this type of problem, you can indicate NOT to auto convert.
