Free Photo Editing Apps to Replace Picnik.com

Thursday, April 5, 2012 by Oh My! Guest

The day Picnik announced it was closing as a stand-alone site and would be integrated into Google+ as their photo editing tool was disheartening for some. Bloggers not already utilizing this new social media juggernaut had the same knee-jerk reaction: “What free photo editing app am I going to use now?!?”

Some are turning to Photoshop Elements but the $99 price tag for a full version is a big leap from the free resource that Picnik offered. Keeping overhead low is important to bloggers who write full-time so I’ve curated a list of sites—some even comparable to Photoshop—that you’ll want to definitely check out!

Downloadable Software

  • GIMP.org
  • Piant.Net
  • Picasa
  • Photoscape
  • PhotoPlus Starter Edition
  • 5DFly Photo Design

Online Apps

  • Photoshop Express
  • Splashup
  • iPiccy
  • Pixlr
  • FotoFlexer
  • DrPic
