Picnik

A superb interface and thoughtful touches make photo editing fun.

4/5
compare

Arbor Labs FotoFlexer

A bevy of unique editing tools wrapped up in a better-than-average interface; full-resolution editing is optional and somewhat sluggish.

compare

Photoshop Express (beta)

Offers an easy way for inexperienced users to edit and share their photos.

3/5
compare

Faux Labs Splashup

Mimics Photoshop with amazing fidelity, including layer support; but it's less usable than the best, and short on flashy effects.

3/5
compare

FlauntR

Bursting at the seams with whizzy features, but the convoluted and sluggish interface makes FlauntR a drag to use.

2/5
compare

Picture2Life

Lots of special effects and a few interesting features can't compensate for a hopelessly annoying user experience.
