Here we present some of the best ways to edit photos in a browser. Everyone doesn’t actually need to buy those expensive photo-editing software for their occasional needs. We are choosing chrome as the browser because Chrome is simple,fast and allows you to install applications-plus-extensions and access them directly from the startup tab. Although, most of the below mentioned sites does not need you to install anything at all! Editing within a browser doesn’t mean that you are limited to few options, infact you can do almost all the things which a professional software can do. The only thing is that you should be prepared to hop from one site to another.

Pixlr

Pixlr is a classic online photo-editor , possibly one of the most powerful online editors. It includes many features and you do not have to register. The images are saved in JPG, BMP, PNG, TIFF formats and PXD.

iPiccy

iPiccy is another application which has several basic editing tools. It also works as a descent editor with pretty good filters and effects. It supports layers, requires no registration and saves JPG / PNG or sent to Flickr.

piZap Photo Editor

piZap is a little weak compared to the other option. As it has a large catalog of funny issues (stickers, color filters, frames), so it will not be good for Professional editions, but it has some interesting filters. It also makes facebook cover pics, collages and montages with intermediate quality. Registration not required.

Amopic

It does not support layers.

Thumba Photo Editor

One more in the range of basic, Thumba Photo Editor includes almost all the functions of a traditional free image editor. It is true that it does not support layers and the effects are limited, but has interesting settings and controls , if you have a lot of editing knowledge. No registration is required. Images are saved in JPEG, PNG or BMP formats.
