When you’re in front of your own computer, you probably have your favorite tools and programs installed. What happens when you’re away from your desk, or you can’t find a good desktop tool you can use. You can then turn to the Web. We’ve discussed some of these web-based apps before. Today, we’ll talk about a web-based photo editor.
PicResize is not only free, there are no accounts to sign up for. It’s easy to use. Simply upload your photo. Then click in the upper left-hand corner, where you want your new photo to “begin”. Move your mouse down and to the right, and click again at the bottom right where you want the box to end. Click “Continue”, and the picture is automatically cropped for you.
Once it has been cropped, choose a size to make the photo. You can also choose from one of many other options, such as sharpen, blur, fading, and several others. Once it is finished, you will see the following:
Success! PictureName.jpg has been resized.
Since we only resize your images and do not give you webspace to host them, you must Download and Save your resized image immediately! Your resized image will be automatically deleted from our servers within 20 minutes.
Click one button to view your photo and make sure it looks how you want it. Then you can save the image to your computer.

PhotoshopExpress.com is a great Web-based solution for editing. Only 2 gigs of storage though.

I was going to suggest Picnik as well. They’re “attached” to Flickr now so you can edit photos directly in your photostream there.

I think PicResize is a great quick and easy tool out there. The best part is that you have nothing to install. Its all within your web browser. This is definitely something worth using and thats why I have added it to my bookmarks.

Cool find, Chris. I’ll have to reccomend this for people I know who don’t have/don’t really know how to use typical photo editing software.
