Picnik – Free Simple Online Photo Editing Made Fast

Oftentimes I need a photo I found on the internet edited. Either it's fuzzy or the colors aren't right... heck, those lolcatz at I Can Has Cheezburger? sometimes just don't look as cute as they should.

This is where Picnik comes in - an online photo site that has simple yet very effective photo and image editing built in. Picnik has effects, type tools, crop, resize, red-eye removal, one-click "Auto-Fix", and tons more. It may not have the breadth of, say, Photoshop, The GIMP or even Photoscope, but Picnik does what it does very well.

What really makes my goat sing is its Firefox Add-On. With this bad-boy, you can send an image straight over to Picnik before you even download it. Not just images either, but whole webpages, too! It sure does make blogging a lot easier.

You don't even have to register for Picnik (though you should if you want to host your pics there). It also works with major image hosting sites and social sites.

There's also a pay version if you want even more features.

So if you need to upload some images, fix 'em, post 'em, or save a webpage for later viewing - I can't recommend Picnik enough.
