Top Free Photo Editing Software For PC (2018)

In the past decade or perhaps in the late 90’s if you can remember, taking a great photo was a labor-intensive process. You’d have to buy an expensive camera and editing software for your desktop computer, and invest some serious time and energy into learning how to use them.

But thanks to our mobile devices and some free desktop software that one can now use to take high-quality photos and edit them without too many bells and whistles as today’s generation is addicted to photo clicking and wants to quickly edit and enhance the photo quality. Editing is even required as a developer especially if you are a freelancer and develops everything on your own.

In this article, I will tell you a few best free photo-editing software that you can use for the better editing experience in 2018.

1. Pixlr

Pixlr offers a server-based software that can be run inside your web browser without a need to install a heavy program and eventually saves your precious hard drive space. Two of the web apps that are recommended are Pixlr Editor and Pixlr Express.

Pixlr Express is an easy to use photo editor like Photoshop Express. Along the bottom, it offers several adjustments including crop, resizes, color, red-eye, and other settings. There are cool and impressive effects, overlays, borders, stickers and the ability to add text to your image like others. If you want to quickly edit your photos then it is preferable to use the express over the editor web app.

The editor web app is used for more professional editing with more options and tools to work with, which gives your photo better contrast and disposal. So, if you are someone who does not want to save or download anything and wants a server-side online editing then this is made for you to use for no money.

This free and open source software is designed to focus on digital painting and animation purposes and has a higher learning curve as the other mentioned software. There are plenty of features available for images editing such as lots of pre-made brushes, masking tools, filters and many more.

On the right, there are advance color selectors along with the ability to quickly add new layers like Photoshop. If you need help on how to learn to use the software? then Kirta offers high-quality tutorials on their website. It is available for Windows and Mac, and Linux.
