Whether you are a traveler returning home from your trip abroad, or you’re returning from a weekend away, you’ll most likely have countless digital photos taken to remember your time away from home.

Along with the rise in digital photography has been ways to use those photos in printed products to remember travels. If you’re going that route, or you’re just interested in tweaking your photos, you may be looking for a free, online resource to edit your photos. We here at Travel Relic have reviewed the major options

Our Top 5 Photo Editing Websites

  1. Splashup
  2. Phoenix
  3. Photoshop Express
  4. Fotoflexer
  5. Picnik

A note on our favorite, Splashup:

Splashup won us over because of its user friendly interface and ability to quickly load the program. We initially expected Photoshop Express to be the best website out there, but its login requirement and its slower menu interface pushed it down the list. Only Splaship and Phoenix retained an interface that looks like traditional software, thereby making the transition to a web based interface easier and more intuitive. Visit Splashup now>>

Our Top 5 list is based off of a range of website features. Here’s how we made our decision.

Analysis of Website Features

With numerous website features we never anticipated, we quickly realized the best site would have to offer access to a wide range of photo website accounts (Facebook, Photobucket), basic editing options like crop and resize and quick access. We also decided that a clean interface, clear of ads, would be a bonus. Here’s how each site breaks down:
