Foto Flexer is a free fun site that allows you to give your photo a very unique look. There is no sign up and the process is very easy. Foto Flexer also offers editing features as well. The examples below are the same photo. I posted the original one first the I used a different fun effect on each one. My favorite is the second one which is the pop art effect. I love how you can take one photo and create so many different looks!

Shape Collage allows you to create some really fun shapes using your images. Below you can see the 3 different ones I created with just one group of pictures. The basic Shape Collage is free which allows you to create pretty much any shape you want. There is a paid version that does not have the watermark on it if you want to check into that. The site has lots of good information as well as videos on how to use Shape Collage can be used. Once you decide you want to use Shape Collage, you download the program onto your computer. The program is available to Mac and Windows computers. Very easy and fast.    Pic Monkey is another free online photo editing site. The free version has lots of features, but there is also a paid version that has more, and is add free. You can do basic editing in Pic Monkey as well as create unique looks for your photos. Below is a collage I create in Pic Monkey. I was able to add pictures, move them around and change the outline color to green.   This picture I also edited in Pic Monkey using an adjusted Sepia tone, text, clip art (star), and a frame. Pic Monkey can be very addicting. There are lots of fun features available.
 In honor of Valentines Day coming soon, I created a collage in Photo Visi with some of the pictures I took of my beautiful niece. Photo Visi offers a variety of collage choices based on theme and look. All you have to do is choose a collage template, add your pictures, text, additional clip art, and background color. You can share your collage on Facebook, Twitter, email, or download to your computer.
Dropbox is a great way to share files and images with others. You can also store files, documents, pictures, etc. in dropbox, and access these files from any computer, iphone, or ipad. I use about 3 different electronic devices at work, and 3 at home so dropbox is the perfect solution for storing files that you can access from anywhere. There are three different pricing options in Dropbox. The free service is plenty for me. I have not had a problem with needing more storage space yet. If you have a folder with pictures you want to share in dropbox, you just share the link with others so they can have access too.    For those of you that loved the online photo editing site Picnic, and cried when it went away, Ribbet is a wonderful alternative!

I could literally spend hours on this site... Below are some of the features Ribbet has to offer.
   Dr Pic is a online editing tool that offers the basic editing features such as resizing, cropping, auto correct, text, etc. They also have some neat affects that can be applied to your picture.
