For the first few years of this blog, we posted very few photos. That changed when we adopted children, and wanted to share photos of them here and on social media.
Photos need to be reduced and optimized for the Web for faster page loading. Over the years, we’ve tried several different tools, some which are no longer in service.
The tool we’ve used the most is Pixlr, which is a great tool (WebResizer is a scaled-down tool for optimizing photos). More recently (April 2015), I’ve discovered Canva’s photo editor, which is just as great. And, what’s really nice, is that it integrates with Canva’s image design tool, which I use a great deal.
So, if you’re looking for online image editing tools, I hope this post is helpful!
Hey cool post! As someone who struggles with photo editing, I really appreciate the tips. Pixlr has been my go-to too, but hearing about Canva’s editor is awesome news – especially since I already use Canva for other stuff. That integration sounds super handy! Will definitely check it out next time I need some online LivePhoto conversion magic. Thanks for sharing your experience! livephoto.video
