Finding a tool that let’s you polish up your photos for the web is not an easy task. Some photo editing tools are so feature packed, they become a little too difficult to use for the average computer user. So we went searching for online photo editing tools to see what was available and we’ve found three products that we think meet the needs of most.

The tools are Picnik, Splashup and Snipshot. All three allow you to upload a photo from your computer or from the Internet. Both Picnik and Snipshot also have a Premium upgrade that gives you far more photo enhancing effects to choose from than just the standard freebie package. Here is our brief take on each of the tools.

Picnik

Registration for a free account was extremely easy and didn’t take you through the email validation process that is common today. There are more photo effects available to the free user than with Snipshot, and the premium upgrade is the least expensive of the tools at $24.95 for one year, or about $2 per month.

Splashup

This was our favorite because it opened up a familiar application window when we were ready to get started with our photo editing. Registration was very simple with no email verification. And all of the effects are available with your free registration, but there are not as many effects as Picnik offers to premium subscribers. There was no Premium membership option available for this tool.

Snipshot

There was no registration required for us to upload a photo and add some effects. However, the effects available to the free user are very limited. The good news is the premium membership is the most expensive at $9 per month, the good news being that you only needed to buy a month premium membership at a time instead of a full year.

We recommend you to try out all three and make the choice for yourself.

Happy photo editing!
